Marlins' double-digit hit streak to 15

Bonifacio's bunt hit has Florida within three of MLB record

HOUSTON -- The Marlins continue to hit their way into history.

On Wednesday night, pinch-hitter Emilio Bonifacio bunted the Marlins into more elite company.

For the 15th straight game, the Marlins recorded at least 10 hits, becoming the first team since the 1937 St. Louis Browns to reach that mark.

With two outs in the seventh inning against the Astros at Minute Maid Park, Bonifacio reached on a bunt single to the right side. Houston reliever Jeff Fulchino tried to make a play, but stumbled and didn't make a throw.

The youthful Marlins are standing beside some legendary, and a couple of defunct, teams. They join the Browns (July 15-27, 1937), Tigers (June 20-July 9, 1936), Washington Senators (June 8-25, 1933) and New York Giants (June 11-23, 1929).

The Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles
The Senators from that era moved to Minnesota and became the Twins
The Tigers are still there
The NY Giants moved to San Fransisco

Just waiting to be stuffed and mounted.

Any team would take that and like it.
