With a bouncing two-run single past a drawn-in infield in Wednesday’s 4-0 win over the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura has hit in a personal-best 16 straight games.

During the streak, Segura is hitting .397 (27 for 68) with 14 runs, 6 doubles, one home run and six RBIs. It’s the longest of his career (previous 12 games, in 2013 with Milwaukee). The 16-game streak is now the longest of the season for the Mariners, eclipsing Nelson Cruz’s 15-game hitting streak April 19-May 6.

Segura is 12 for 25 (.480) with one double, one walk and two hit by pitches when leading off a game.

Segura is the fourth-leading hitter in the A.L in May at .411 (2 for 64).

For the season, Segura is hitting .359, tops in the American League and fifth in baseball.
