The first real hitting streak of note this season:

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2022: Zero Hits for Hughes, Edmonton Halts Hit Streak
The hitting streak that Montreal second baseman Joe Hughes had going was ended today by the Edmonton Edge. Hughes, who had hits in his previous 22 games, was stymied today, but the rest of his team picked him up, earning the Majestics a 5-4 victory at Majestics Stadium. He was hitless in 3 at-bats.

"Hitting streaks come and go. One good thing came out of it, however, it perked up my batting average a little bit, but did put a little pressure on me. It's hard to be natural at the plate with the streak always in the back of your mind. If it had to end, I'm glad it was in a win."

To date this year Hughes is batting .341 with 13 home runs.
