... However, while Bruce's streak ended, note that Paciorek's is still active.

Sorry to those who'll see this on the retrosheet group, too. Jay Bruce
of the Reds reached base safely in his first 6 plate appearances in the
majors; I believe the following to be the longest such streaks over the
last 50 years:
7-Ted Cox, BOS AL, 1977 (6-for-6, 1BB).
6-Jay Bruce, CIN NL, 2008 (3-for-3, 3BB).
5-John Paciorek, HOU NL, 1963 (3-for-3, 2BB).
5-Dave Robinson, SD NL, 1970 (2-for-2, 3BB).
5-Bob Dernier, PHI NL, 1980 (4-for-4, 1BB).
5-Tom Dunbar, TEX AL, 1983 (2-for-2, 3BB).
5-Jose Hernandez, TEX AL, 1991 (4-for-4, 1BB).
5-Mike Piazza, LA NL, 1992 (4-for-4, 1BB).
5-Ramon Martinez, SF NL, 1998 (3-for-3, 2BB).
5-Kazuo Matsui, NYM NL, 2004 (3-for-3, 2BB).
5-Kosuke Fukudome, CHI NL, 2008 (3-for-3, 2BB).
5-Brandon Boggs, TEX AL, 2008 (4-for-4, 1BB).
