Jon Jay set a St. Louis Cardinals franchise record by reaching base safely in 16 consecutive games after singling in the first inning of Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.
The Cardinals center fielder wasn't done. In the third inning, Jay hit an opposite-field double off San Francisco Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. The double also snapped a dubious streak for Jay.
Jon Jay set a Major League record by going 92 straight postseason at-bats without an extra-base hit. That ended on his RBI double. #stlcards
