Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker extended his remarkable power surge at Dodger Stadium on 6 July, homering for a sixth consecutive game in the venue. The blast, part of a back-to-back sequence that pushed Houston to a 4–1 lead in the eighth inning, gives Walker nine home runs in his last eight appearances at the park and eight in his last six. Walker’s latest shot places him alongside Monte Irvin as the only visiting hitters with homers in six straight games at a Dodgers home ballpark. The run is one shy of Roy Campanella’s seven-game streak set at Ebbets Field in 1955. Walker now owns 21 home runs and 38 RBI in 45 career games at Dodger Stadium. Houston is chasing a series sweep of Los Angeles, and Walker will have an opportunity in the finale to match Campanella’s 70-year-old mark for consecutive games with a homer on Dodgers turf.
