CLEVELAND – Kevin Mench has continued his incredible streak, homering in seven consecutive games as the Indians and Rangers play in the eighth. He's the first right-handed batter in major league history to homer in that many consecutive games. If he hits a homer Saturday, he'll tie the major league record for homers in consecutive games, held by Ken Griffey (Seattle, 1993), Dale Long (Pittsburgh, 1956) and Don Mattingly (NY Yankees, 1987). Jim Thome, as a member of the Indians, is the only other player to hit a homer in seven consecutive games.
