The 52-game on-base streak is the longest in the Pacific Coast League since at least 2009 when MLBAM began tracking the statistic. The triple extended his hitting streak to a career-high 21 games. His hitting streak is the fifth-longest streak by a Sounds player in the PCL era.
- Anthony Garcia's home run in the fifth inning extended his hitting streak to a season-high 11 games.
