Bradley's streak is the longest in the Major Leagues this season, and nine shy of Dominic DiMaggio for tops in Red Sox history (34 games in 1949).

The home run also had some additional significance. It was the 20th straight game the Red Sox have had at least one homer, setting a franchise record. The 1996 Red Sox held the previous record of going deep in 19 straight games.
In Wednesday night's win over the Royals, Bradley also extended the streak with a homer in his first at-bat.

The most remarkable thing about Bradley's streak is his extra-base rampage.
The missile against Kluber -- which was projected by Statcast™ to land 417 feet away from home plate -- was Bradley's eighth homer during the streak. He also has seven doubles and three triples.
