Entering Sunday’s Tigers-White Sox game on Sunday, Detroit outfielder Robbie Grossman hadn’t committed an error in more than four years.
That streak ended in the eighth inning Sunday when Grossman misplayed a fly ball hit to left field by Chicago outfielder Luis Robert.
With that, Grossman’s 440-game errorless streak—the longest in MLB history by a position player—was halted. It was the first error he’d committed since June 13, 2018, when he was a member of the Twins. He then played two errorless seasons with the Athletics before joining the Tigers in 2021.
