Astros outfielder Willy Taveras extended his hitting streak to 30 games when he beat out an infield single to third base to start Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. Taveras has gotten a hit in the first inning in his last three games and in 14 of the 30 games. He singled leading off against the Pirates' Victor Santos on Friday night, then doubled Saturday night against Zach Duke before getting the infield single against Shawn Chacon.
