Shin-Soo Choo's on-base streak ends at Rangers-record 52 games

Shin-Soo Choo's streak of reaching base safely has been snapped at 52 games -- the longest such single-season streak in Texas Rangers history.

Choo went 0-for-4 in Saturday night's 16-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians in Arlington, Texas. Choo was pulled from the game in the eighth inning after grounding into a fielder's choice.

Choo's 52-game stretch tied Kevin Millar's streak in 2007 as the longest since Orlando Cabrera's 63-game streak in 2006.

"I'm very excited about what I did,'' Choo said.

The longest active streak in MLB of reaching base safely now belongs to Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, who has done so in 24 straight games.
