Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. doubled to left field leading off the second inning against Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa on Tuesday night, extending his hitting streak to 28 games. That puts him in a tie with Wade Boggs for the fifth-longest hitting streak in club history, per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. Dom DiMaggio has the longest streak at 34 games.

Here’s MLB.com video of Bradley’s hit to extend the streak.

The most recent hitting streaks of 30 games or longer belong to Dan Uggla and Andre Ethier, who compiled respective streaks of 33 and 30 games in 2011.

Bradley entered Tuesday’s action hitting .342/.413/.618. Pretty good.
