The streak stays alive unless the batter had all sacrifice flies.
(Edit: I'll clarify. As stated in the rule below, a sac fly AND NO OTHER HITS will break a streak. A sac fly is a genuine attempt to hit the ball safely which fails, despite the pleasing outcome of scoring a baserunner. A sac fly and N walks on the day is a 0-fer-zero day but will break a streak; every other plate appearance outcome that does not get counted as an at-bat does not break it.)
MLB Rule 10.23 Guidelines For Cumulative Performance Records:
(a) CONSECUTIVE HITTING STREAKS.
A consecutive hitting streak shall not be terminated if a batter’s plate appearance results in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or obstruction or a sacrifice bunt. A sacrifice fly shall terminate the streak.
(b) CONSECUTIVE-GAME HITTING STREAKS.
A consecutive-game hitting streak shall not be terminated if all of a batter's plate appearances (one or more) in a game result in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or obstruction or a sacrifice bunt. The streak shall terminate if the player has a sacrifice fly and no hit.
A player's individual consecutive-game hitting streak shall be determined by the consecutive games in which such player appears and is not determined by his club's games.

Yes, going 0-0 is the same as walking all your at- bats. You need an official at bat and not get a hit. Going 0-0 is the same as not playing the game.

Yes because it was not an official at bat. It happened to Jeter last season. He had a hit streak was put into the game for one at bat and was walked hit streak was extended.

Chipmake is the closest to correct here.
The only error in his answer is that the batter doesn't have to have all sacrifice flies to end the streak. A 0-0 day with four walks and one sac fly means the streak is history.

Quite simply, yes. If the player did not have an official at bat the entire game-they didn't have the hitting streak snapped by recording an out in an official at bat. Glad to answer...

No, its a hitting streak. If you don't get a hit in the game your streak is over.
