"With his run-scoring single in the fifth inning Tuesday night, Jorge Cantu matched the major-league record of eight for most consecutive games with at least one RBI to start a season.

Cantu also extended his Marlins record for most consecutive games with at least one RBI -- 12 -- dating to last season. Cantu had set a team record Monday night with a two-run double, eclipsing the mark of 10 set by Hanley Ramirez last season.

Cantu joined three other players who have started a season with an eight-game RBI streak: George Kelly, 1921; Willie McCovey, 1969; and Tony Oliva, 1970."
