Dodgers' Ethier makes it 25 straight with a hit

Published Apr. 30, 2011 12:50 a.m. ET

The Dodgers' Andre Ethier has extended his major league record for the longest April hitting streak to 25 games.

The right fielder doubled with two out in the fifth inning Friday night against San Diego's Clayton Richard, a left-hander he had only one hit in 15 career at-bats against to that point.

The streak ties Paul Lo Duca and Steve Sax for the longest by a Dodgers player since Willie Davis' franchise-record 31-game stretch in 1969. Davis also had a 25-game hitting streak in 1971.
