Myles Straw’s infamous home run drought came to an end at 295 games on Friday when he homered off the Rays’ Jason Adam.
Long homerless streaks were fairly common in early days of baseball, but Straw’s streak is the sixth longest in franchise history over the last 100 years:
- Duane Kuiper, 423 games
- Felix Fermin, 408
- Luke Sewell, 399
- Duane Kuiper, 345
- Rube Lutzke, 311
- Myles Straw, 295
