Adam Dunn had a good sense of humor when he was informed the record for most consecutive games with a strikeout belongs to him. "Any time you can have a record it's pretty cool," Dunn said. He added: "But to me, I don't want to sound like it's not a big deal because it obviously is, but what matters is more (when you strike out). If you're striking out with men in scoring position, that's bad. If it's with two outs, I'm obviously trying to put a run up." According to Joe Taxiera, author of "A Unique Look at Big League Baseball," Dunn's 36 consecutive games with a strikeout (32 this season before he snapped it Friday night) is the longest streak going back at least to 1918.
