Against the Atlanta Braves on Friday, July 28 Sal Frelick played in his sixth career game. He finished the night 2-4 with one walk. With three more additional times on base he set a franchise record for the number of times on base through six career games with 13 times on base.
According to StatHead the previous franchise record for the number of times on base through six games was 12. This was set by B.J. Shurhoff in 1987. Jim Gantner reached base 11 times in 1976 and then Paul Molitor, Dan Thomas, and Joey Wiemer are all tied at 10.
