Willy Adames of the Milwaukee Brewers is on a power run that has baseball fans giddy. In the Brewers' 9-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday, Adames launched his 29th home run of the season, his fifth straight game with a long ball. Not only did Adames' first-inning blast off starter Andre Pallante help Milwaukee win, but it also made history for him.
Setting Records and Creating History
Adames tied a Brewers franchise record previously held by Eric Thames and Jeromy Burnitz by hitting a home run in five successive games. This accomplishment is especially noteworthy for a shortstop because it ties the record for the most straight games in which a shortstop has hit a home run since 1900, putting Adames in the company of shortstop greats like Trea Turner, Corey Seager, and Alex Rodríguez.
The praise doesn't end there, though. Adames' 13th three-run blast of the season was also a home run. Only one other MLB player, Ken Griffey Jr., has hit as many three-run home runs in a single season, according to the Associated Press. It's a distinguished and uncommon club, and Adames feels honored to be admitted.
After the game, Adames remarked, "It's an honor, just to be right next to a legend and an icon like him." "Seeing that reality today is just incredible."
An Unforgettable Season
This season, Adames has been a pillar for the Brewers, batting.255 with an NL Central-leading.812 OPS. With an 81-57 record, Milwaukee leads the Chicago Cubs by 9 1/2 games thanks to his performances. Adames has started all 138 games at shortstop and has not just been reliable at the plate but also resilient. Another outstanding accomplishment as he approaches free agency will occur if he starts the last 24 games and goes on to become only the fifth player in Brewers history to start every game in a season.
