Shohei Otani just notched his 52nd straight game reaching base safely for the Dodgers, climbing to third place on their all-time list since. 1900. He did it with a single to right field in the third inning off Rocky Starter Jose Quintana. That puts him right behind Sean Greene's 53-gamer from 2000 in Duke Snyder's franchise record of 58 back in 1954. Otani's streak kicked off on August 24th, 2025, and he's already passed Ron C's 47 from the mid-70s and Willie Keeler's 50 from over a century ago. Against the Rocky specifically, he's on base in 35th straight dating to July 2021 with a 14-game hitch streak versus them. In 20 straight hits at Course Field, he also topped Ichiro Suzuki's 43 from 2009 as the longest for any Japanese-born player.
