Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 31 games, the longest in the majors this season, with a two-run single in the first inning that sent the Braves past the Florida Marlins 6-2 Wednesday night for a three-game sweep.

Uggla tied Rico Carty for the second-longest hitting streak in franchise history. Tommy Holmes hit in 37 straight for the Boston Braves in 1945.

 

“It’s crazy,” Uggla said. “Was that one of the things I thought about when I got over here? No, obviously not, but it’s a cool thing. This is an awesome organization and to have some kind of record with this organization is really special.”

 

Uggla went 3 for 5. It was his ninth multihit game during the longest hitting streak in the majors this season. He is batting .224 overall this year.
