Summary
Zack Gelof’s historic 24-game hitting streak came to a dramatic halt Tuesday night when he flied out to end what was the longest streak in MLB over the past two seasons — and the seventh longest in A’s history. The play that ended it? A bizarre collision with Giants’ Matt Chapman, who accidentally stepped on Gelof’s hand while trying to stretch a hit into a double. Gelof bolted from the game in pain, but X-rays were negative and no stitches were needed — a minor setback, not a major injury. His teammate Nick Kurtz also saw his 22-game on-base streak end that same night, reminding us how fragile baseball streaks can be — and how often they end in the most unexpected ways. Gelof, hitting .282 this season and a standout since being drafted from Virginia in 2021, is hoping to return soon and keep his momentum alive.
