Alex Bregman, the Houston Astros’ third baseman, continues to swing one of Major League Baseball’s hottest bats. He hit a two-run home run as the Astros fell 4-3 to the Minnesota Twins at home on Sunday afternoon. Bregman has homered four times in his in six games. His hot streak started last Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, when he smacked a two-run homer. He also went yard in two consecutive games on Thursday and Friday against the Mariners and Minnesota Twins.
Bregman has gone 11-for-24 with four home runs and seven RBI in his previous six games. Unfortunately for the Houston Astros and Bregman, their hot streak has not resulted in wins on the diamond. Houston is 2-4 in its previous six games. Bregman has struggled in 2024, hitting.229 with eight home runs and 29 RBI.
How long will Bregman be able to continue his hot streak?
