With another hit on Tuesday, St. Louis Cardinals' rookie Masyn Winn could tie Albert Pujols for the second-longest hit streak ever by a team rookie.
The loss drops the Cards to 25-27 on the year, though they have won eight of their last 11 games. The Reds are now 24-30 and are starting to turn it around after a dreadful first 50-game stretch.
Though they lost, Cardinals' rookie Masyn Winn continued to perform. His 1-for-4 effort extended his hitting streak to 16 games, which is one game away from tying Albert Pujols for the second-longest hit streak by a rookie in franchise history.Any time you can have a chance to tie Pujols in the franchise record books, you're doing something right. Pujols hit more than 700 career home runs, was an MVP and will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when the time comes.
As for Winn, he's hitting .300 this year with a .786 OPS. The 22-year-old has two homers, 15 RBI and seven stolen bases. He made his debut a season ago but has really taken hold of his opportunity in 2024. Winn will have a chance to extend his streak on Tuesday when the Cardinals and Reds play again.
