PHILADELPHIA -- For all but two of the games during his career-high 13-game hitting streak, Reds second baseman Jose Peraza, has gotten one hit per day. With 11 of his last 15 hits being singles, it's not the stuff of legend but Peraza is making progress after a slow start to 2017.
Peraza, 23, burst on to the scene for Cincinnati once he got regular time in the lineup in August and batted .324 with a .352 on-base percentage. This season, he entered Sunday batting .254 with only a .290 OBP.
