\n

In the ninth inning of a wild game at Citi Field, Tyler Tolbert flew out to right field, ending a historic streak. After producing a hit in a record-tying 12 consecutive plate appearances, the Kansas City Royals<\/a> outfielder settled for an MLB record and the shared spotlight with\u00a0Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente.<\/p>\n

Collecting back-to-back five-hit games for the first time since Clemente in 1970, Tolbert said during a post-game interview<\/a> that the experience was “something I’ll never forget. All I can do is smile and be grateful for the opportunity.”<\/p>\n

The Royals, who earned a 16-12 win<\/a>, handed the Mets their second loss in 204 games in which they scored at least 12 runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tolbert<\/a> tied the league mark with his 12th straight hit Tuesday, an infield single off reliever Matt Seelinger (0-1), who surrendered seven runs on 52 pitches. Tolbert’s fourth-inning single to right field off Kodai Senga, his 10th in a row, established a franchise record.<\/p>\n

After trailing 9-4 entering the fifth inning, the Royals (38-54) scored five runs in the fifth and seven in the seventh to stun the Mets (38-54) during an interleague matchup.<\/p>\n

“This was a crazy game,” Tolbert said. “It was really fun. Our offense was relentless.<\/p>\n

“We just kept hittin’.”<\/p>\n

Royals’ Tyler Tolbert seeks to retain first-half momentum<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular players in the Royals’ locker room, the humble, hard-working Tolbert looked over at his teammates as they rose from the bench to celebrate his historic accomplishment.<\/p>\n

“They got my back and I got their back,” said Tolbert, who raised his batting average from .200 to .396 over the past three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second-year big leaguer was optioned to\u00a0Triple-A Omaha earlier this season, but persevered, returned to the Royals and created history. In 48 big-league at-bats this season,\u00a0he registered a .976 OPS.<\/p>\n

Attempting to forge his MLB identity, Tolbert should have\u00a0momentum and confidence entering the All-Star break.<\/p>\n
