Wilson set an MLB record for his position, playing his 111th consecutive errorless game at shortstop for the Athletics and surpassing the Baltimore Orioles’ Mike Bordick, who went 110 games in 2002. Jack Wilson, a 12-year major leaguer who also played shortstop, instilled in his son that defense comes first. Like any day he plays short, the 24-year-old Wilson was out taking grounders with many of his teammates about two hours before the start of the game. “I do that every day that I’m playing short,” he said. “The DH days I try to stay off my feet as much as I can, but every day I’m playing short I’m taking ground balls no matter what.
