ANAHEIM, Calif. David Fletcher is a soft-spoken middle infielder and a sixth-round draft choice who has sneaked up on stardom during four increasingly impressive seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.
Fletcher is sitting on the second-longest hitting streak in Angels history after yet another monster offensive game. His talents are unlikely to surprise anyone again after this incredible five-week stretch, and that’s how his manager and teammates think it should be.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Mitch Haniger didn’t take much time off during the All-Star break.
Instead of resting to prepare for the second half of the season, the Seattle outfielder worked on his swing. After one game it appears the adjustments are working.
Haniger had three hits and Chris Flexen continued his mastery of the Angels as the Seattle Mariners held off Los Angeles 6-5 on Friday night.
Haniger said he worked on having better hand-hip coordination and allowing better separation between his hips. His two-run homer in the fourth inning helped extend Seattle’s lead to 4-1.
ANAHEIM, California, EE.UU.
Mitch Haniger conectó tres hits, incluyendo un vuelacercas de dos carreras, Chris Flexen mantuvo su dominio sobre los Angelinos y los Marineros de Seattle aguantaron el tipo el viernes para ganar 6-5 a Los Ángeles.
El segunda base de los Angelinos David Fletcher disparó dos hits que ampliaron su racha de bateo a 25 juegos, empatando con Rod Carew por la segunda mejor marcha en la historia de la franquicia.
A pesar de la sólida actuación de Flexen, que se llevó el triunfo con una labor de siete episodios en los que cedió una carrera en seis hits y ponchó a dos, el bullpen de Seattle estuvo a punto de desaprovecharla. Los Marineros llegaron al noveno capítulo con un 6-2 a favor pero los Angelinos aprovecharon dos errores y anotaron tres veces para acercarse a solo una carrera.
