Nick Kurtz's 48-game on-base streak ends in Athletics' loss to Seattle Mariners

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz had his 48-game on-base streak stopped after going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in a 4-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Kurtz, the AL Rookie of the Year last season, tied Mark McGwire for the longest such streak in team history.

McGwire reached in 48 straight games in 1996.

Kurtz's streak was the longest in the majors since 2018.

The 23-year-old Kurtz still leads the majors with a .437 on-base percentage and 52 walks.

The big league record for consecutive games reaching base is 84, set by Ted Williams in 1949.
