Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Sunday going 1-for-4 with a home run.

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo clobbered left-handed pitching in 2019 and appears to be off to the same torrid start against southpaws to open this year following another blast Sunday.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Sunday.
