MIAMI — Andre Ethier set a major league record by extending his hitting streak to 23 games, the longest ever in April.

The Los Angeles Dodgers right-fielder doubled in the first inning Tuesday against Florida to break the record set by his former manager, Joe Torre, who hit in 22 straight April games in 1971.

Ethier’s hitting streak is a career best. He has had a hit in every game since going 0 for 4 in the second game of the season April 1.
