MILWAUKEE -- Twins manager Paul Molitor's return to Milwaukee on Wednesday came on the 30th anniversary of a milestone on his march to a 39-game hitting streak.
On Aug. 9, 1987, Molitor flared a double to right field in his final at-bat of an 8-4 win over the White Sox at Comiskey Park, giving him a hit in 24 straight games. That matched the Brewers' record, which was set by Davey May in 1973 and remains the second longest hitting streak in franchise history behind Molitor's epic run.
"At the time, there was some attention given to [tying the team record]," Molitor said before leading the Twins into a two-game Interleague series at Miller Park.
