- Jacob Wilson extended his major-league-record errorless streak to 113 games Tuesday night after an errant throw in the eighth inning was overturned from its original error ruling.
- The call had originally been Wilson's first error since July 6, 2025, but was changed to Yandy Díaz reaching on a fielder's choice during Oakland's 12-4 loss to Tampa Bay.
- Wilson, 24, surpassed Mike Bordick's shortstop errorless record of 110 games at Fenway Park in a Sunday win over the Boston Red Sox.
- Across his 231 career games at shortstop, Wilson has committed just nine errors.
- Jacob Wilson credited his father Jack Wilson — a 12-year MLB shortstop — for his defensive-first upbringing, saying his dad taught him to "always be prepared to play defense every day."
Why it matters: Wilson has now gone 113 straight games without an error at shortstop, breaking Bordick's 30-year-old mark and giving Oakland a defensive cornerstone at a premium position. At 24 with only nine career errors across 231 games, he enters Wednesday's series finale against Tampa Bay still extending the record.
