And I Got Mad Hits Like I Was Rod Carew

Ichiro Suzuki nailed another one Monday, tying the Seattle Mariners’ club record of 25 consecutive games with a hit, which he set in 2007.

The eight-time All-Star lined a leadoff double -- his ninth of the season -- off Baltimore Orioles lefty Rich Hill before taking third on an error in the bottom of the first inning, bringing his batting average to an impressive .352 on the year just a day after enjoying four hits against the Los Angeles Angels.

This marks Ichiro's seventh hit-streak of at least 20 games since gracing Seattle with his presence in 2001. He'll go for the team record of hitting safely in 26 games when the M's take on right-hander David Hernandez (1-0, 1.59 ERA), who he has never faced, at 10:10pm ET tonight.

Keep up the good work, buddy!
