Two days after taking over as the active leader of Beat the Streak, user “dtra1203” saw his or her run come to an end on Tuesday, after 42 successful picks.

The previous active leader, Graham Manning, got to 46 — the third-longest streak this season — before getting stymied on Sunday. At the same time, “dtra1203,” whose real name remains unknown, climbed to the top of the list by selecting Mariners slugger Nelson Cruz.

That put “dtra1203” 15 successful picks away from the $5.6 million grand prize. He or she tried to get two games closer on Tuesday by taking advantage of Beat the Streak’s “Double Down” feature to select both White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu and Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager.

Abreu came through by going 1-for-4 with a double against the Tigers. Seager appeared to be a good bet, taking a .310 average into play at Coors Field, but went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in a 7-3 Dodgers loss to the Rockies.
