Perhaps being on the road deprived him of some medicinal help: Joe Judge's hitting streak stopped two short of Charlie Grimm's season high of 27.

When asked after the game about being asked to bunt in the 7th with his streak on the line, Judge responded:  "STREAK?  Hell, the GAME was on the line.  It was the right call, and I'm proud that I did the job.  The only streak I care about is the team's."
