Ian Happ has reached base in 30 consecutive games for Cubs, and 2 others have double-digit streaks

Cubs left fielder Ian Happ extended his on-base streak to 30 games with a first-inning walk in Chicago's 6-0 loss to Texas on Saturday night, and teammates Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch also kept up their double-digit streaks. The only longer active streak in the majors is a 33-gamer by Nick Kurtz, who had two doubles Saturday for the Athletics in a 6-2 win over Baltimore. While the Cubs' second 10-game winning streak of the season ended, they are the only team this year to have three players at the same time with active on-base streaks of at least 10 games.

The Chicago Cubs may have fallen 6-0 to the Texas Rangers on Saturday night, but the team's lineup continues to shine in a remarkable way. Left fielder Ian Happ extended his on-base streak to an impressive 30 consecutive games with a first-inning walk, proving once again why he's a consistent threat at the plate.

Happ isn't alone in this hot streak. Teammates Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch are also making waves with double-digit on-base streaks of their own. Crow-Armstrong pushed his run to 13 games by drawing a walk in the ninth inning, while Busch kept his streak alive at 11 games with a leadoff single in the second and an additional walk in the third.

This trio of consistency makes the Cubs the only team in Major League Baseball this season to boast three players with active on-base streaks of at least 10 games simultaneously. While Chicago's second 10-game winning streak of the year came to an end, this achievement highlights the depth and discipline of their lineup.

Across the league, the only longer active streak belongs to Oakland Athletics' Nick Kurtz, who extended his run to 33 games with two doubles in a 6-2 win over Baltimore. For Cubs fans, seeing three players deliver night after night is a promising sign—and a reminder that consistency at the plate can turn a good team into a great one.
