No “Drip” drama here.
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ildemaro Vargas needed just one at-bat in Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs to extend his hitting streak to 27 games dating back to last season.
He now stands alone in second place for the longest hitting streak in franchise history, passing Paul Goldschmidt (26).
He sits just three games away from tying Luis Gonzalez’s franchise-leading mark of 30.
Batting second in the order, Vargas turned on an 87-mph splitter for a single up the middle. It was Arizona’s second hit of the frame after Geraldo Perdomo’s leadoff single.
In addition to passing Goldschmidt in the franchise record books for most consecutive hits, Vargas set a new hitting record for a player born in Venezuela. He passed Wilson Ramos (2019 New York Mets) for the top spot.

The streak is also the second-longest since Detroit’s Ron LeFlore in 1976.

Vargas continues to be one of the biggest bright spots for the Diamondbacks.
Entering play Friday, Vargas paced the Diamondbacks in batting average (.378), OPS (1.087), home runs (six) and RBIs (20) despite playing in 23 of Arizona’s 30 games.
The early hitting didn’t lead to runs, however, with Chicago getting out of the top of the first inning unscathed before tacking on three runs in the bottom half.
Vargas, however, trimmed Chicago’s early lead to 3-1 with an RBI single in the third inning.
