## Resource

Nick Kurtz’s historic 48-game on-base streak ended against the Mariners, but he’s now tied with legend Mark McGwire for the A’s single-season record — a massive feat for the reigning AL Rookie of the Year. Though he went hitless and struck out three in the finale, his .437 OBP, .280 batting average, 8 homers, and 37 RBIs prove he’s the team’s most dangerous hitter. Even without the streak, Kurtz’s consistency and mental toughness shine, and he’s already a top contender for All-Star honors. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
