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.

David Fletcher went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the host Seattle Mariners 7-1 Sunday afternoon.
Left-hander Jose Suarez (4-2) and three relievers combined on a four-hitter as the Angels salvaged the finale of the three-game series. Suarez allowed one unearned run on three hits in five innings, with two walks and four strikeouts. Right-hander Raisel Iglesias pitched 1 1/3 innings for his 19th save.
Mariners right-hander Yohan Ramirez (0-1) took the loss in relief.
Fletcher hit a solo homer with two outs in the top of the third off Mariners left-hander Hector Santiago to tie the score at 1 and extend his hitting streak to 24 games, the third-longest in franchise history.
