ShareThisConsecutive 3 Hit Games
Michael Young has recorded at least 3 hits in each of his last 3 games. In doing so, he joins Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and David Wright as the only players who have accomplish the feat this season. The last player with at least 3 hits in 4 consecutive games was Maglio Ordonez last July (Cody Ross! did it last year, as well.). Since 1954 only 3 players have had streaks of 5 games or longer:

While Brett's streak was a bit longer, Carew's was certainly more intense. Not only did Carew hit 4 home runs as part of those five games, he also didn't have more than 4 official at bats in any of the games.
It is also interesting to note that Brett and Sizemore's teams each lost only 1 game during their respective streaks. During Carew's streak the Twins were 0-5.
