The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs wrapped up their two-game series in London on Sunday afternoon.
The Cubs jumped out for an early 4-0 lead, but St. Louis fought back and rallied to tie the game.
In the bottom of the third inning, rookie Jordan Walker drove in the tying run with a base-hit.
In doing so, he extended his impressive hit streak to 15 games.
Walker came into Sunday’s contest hitting .301 on the season.
On Twitter, the Cardinals posted a video of Walker’s big hit to celebrate his latest achievement as he continued his hit streak in the second game of the London Series.

Walker made the Opening Day roster for the Cardinals out of spring training, and even began his career with a 12-game hitting streak.
However, he was ultimately sent down to work on his launch angle.
Since his return, he has been swinging a hot bat and guiding the Cardinals.
The team sits at the bottom of the NL Central, but Walker’s hot streak has certainly been a bright spot for a team that has not had its best campaign.
Walker’s hit ultimately tied the game for St. Louis after they had fallen into a 4-0 hole in the first inning.
Earlier this season, the 21-year-old was ranked as the Major Leagues’ top prospect, even above Cincinnati Reds stalwart Elly De La Cruz.
He hit two home runs in the team’s recent series against the New York Mets over Father’s Day weekend.
Walker now has a chance to potentially chase down the Rookie of the Year Award.
