Pushes hit streak to 22 games Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.

He went on to collect two more base knocks, making four straight games in which he has collected multiple hits. Fletcher's current 22-game overall hitting streak is the longest in the majors this season and the longest by an Angel since Garret Anderson's 23-game streak in 2008, per MLB Stats. Over the course of his streak, Fletcher is batting .427 with 17 runs and 11 RBI.

He subsequently came around to score the game's first run on Jared Walsh's double. Over the streak, Fletcher is slashing .380/.405/.479 with seven doubles, eight RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base.

Swipes bag, extends hit streak Fletcher went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in an 11-8 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact Shohei Ohtani was plugged into the leadoff spot on the day he also started on the mound, so Fletcher was pushed to the fifth spot in the lineup. That didn't break his rhythm at the plate, as Fletcher's ninth-inning single extended his hit streak to 15 games. He subsequently stole second base and came around to score as part of a seven-run frame. Fletcher finished June with a .344/.378/.419 slash line, seven doubles and 17 runs.

Moves back to leadoff spot Fletcher went 2-for-5 and scored a run while batting leadoff in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

Impact Prior to Sunday, Fletcher had slotted into the nine spot in the lineup in each game he played since May 15. Manager Joe Maddon decided to move him back up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Justin Upton's (back) recent move to the injured list and Fletcher's recent hot stretch. With his two hits Sunday, the versatile Fletcher extended his current hit streak to 12 games, during which he is batting .488 (21-for-43) with five doubles, nine runs and seven RBI. The torrid stretch has pushed his average up to .291 on the season, and Fletcher could stick in the leadoff spot as long as he continues hitting.

Three-hit effort in win Fletcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

Impact The 27-year-old knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. Fletcher is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with seven RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The contact-hitting infielder has posted a .281/.312/.328 slash line with no home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances overall. Given his recent surge, Fletcher has responded well to batting at the bottom of the order, although that gives him fewer chances to make an impact for fantasy managers.
