It could be a home run, a base hit–a dropped third strike or an error, but if Matt Holliday safely reaches base tonight he will tie Albert Pujols for the most consecutive games to safely reach base to open a season (42) in franchise history.

The left fielder is batting .317 (46-145) with 3 home runs and 23 RBIs to start the year.
