Jimmy Rollins is too focused on trying to lead the Philadelphia Phillies into the playoffs to worry about his hitting streak.
Rollins hit a leadoff home run, extending his hitting streak to 30 games, and fell a double short of the cycle as the Phillies gained a game in the NL wild-card race with a 6-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
The Phillies have won four of five and are a game behind Houston, which lost 3-2 to the Chicago Cubs. Both teams have six games left.
``I don't think about the streak too much, maybe a couple of times in the hotel room,'' Rollins said. ``I told myself to not get caught up in it. I have to go out and do it. It helps me not think about it.''
