For those of us of a certain age, “we’re going streaking!” will always invoke one movie scene. Streaking is not just for a good party, though. It happens in baseball.
Baltimore snapped an 8 game losing streak last night with an 11th inning homer by Adley Rutschman.
Taylor Ward is riding a 7 game extra base streak thanks to a double in Sacramento last night. Ward also has 5 straight with both an RBI and a run scored. He cracked a triple to dead center in the 8th inning and added a lined single in the 9th. Ward is definitely heating up.
Logan O’Hoppe is on a two game home run streak. He actually cracked two homers last night including this absolute bomb to kick off the scoring.
Hector Neris has been a really nice pickup. He’s inherited 9 runners, including 2 last night, and has not allowed a single one to score. I’m calling that a 9 inherited runners streak.
Most importantly, our Angels are on a 6 GAME WINNING STREAK, BABY!!!!!
A day game today and it would make a full week of winning. Enjoy some afternoon baseball and hope this hot streak continues.
The win over the A’s pushes the A’s losing streak to 8 games, giving them the longest current losing streak in MLB. Let’s hope it continues one more game.
I’m saving some links for tomorrow but can’t hold this one back. Olympic types are optimistic MLB will allow players to participate in the 2028 Olympics. While I highly doubt it, those games are in my backyard and as a fan I’d love nothing more. We get the World Baseball Classic next year, though, so I can’t be too greedy. I just love cheering on Team USA when we really do have our best players out there.
