Now if we expand the search to allow for guys who first came in as a PH but may have gotten further PAs in some of the games, there are 5 guys who had RBIs in 5 straight such games:

Liriano in the second list did not have more than one PA in each game. In the one game where he stayed in as a fielder, he was replaced in a double substitution before he batted again. So he really did have only one PA each game. His RBI were on a SF, H, BB, ROE and H.
Baines had an extra PA in one of his games, and the others clearly did, so Liriano and Brock are the only ones to have a streak of 5 with one PA each G.
It's interesting how often people on the list got an RBI from a BB!
