Pete Rose extended his batting streak to 42 games with three singles as the Reds defeated the Phillies, 6-2. Rose surpassed George Sisler's 41-game streak in 1922 and tied Bill Dahlen's 1894 skein of 42 games. Still ahead of him were Willie Keeler's 44-game streak, set in 1897, and Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 games in 1941.
