Mendoza's Hit Streak Soars to 20 Games
Monday, August 10th, 2026
He did it again!
Enrique Mendoza got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Seattle Rainiers were defeated 3-0 at Sick's Stadium by the Colorado Commanders.
During the recent streak, the 21-year-old right fielder has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Mendoza preferred to shower praise on his team. He told reporters in the clubhouse after the loss, "We have a better ballclub than we showed today."
"It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "So, we're trying to kind of keep that quiet... don't want to jinx him." Enrique Mendoza singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.
Thus far this year Mendoza has hit .307 with 10 home runs and 38 RBIs.
