Jose Miranda of the Minnesota Twins singled in the fourth inning Saturday for his 12th straight hit in an at-bat, tying the longest streak in MLB history.

The fans at Target Field gave Miranda a standing ovation as the scoreboard and public address announcer informed them of the record. Miranda, a 26-year-old infielder from Puerto Rico, tipped his cap and waved in acknowledgement.

"It felt great seeing the fans, obviously, showing me [support] with the standing ovation," Miranda said. "They are proud obviously, and I'm proud of them being there, too."
