It's April 17th. This is MLB News today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. Last week in baseball, April 10th to 16th kicked off with a monster angels Yankee's matchup on Monday. For the first time since at least 1900, the top four active home run leaders, Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Paul. Goldschman all suited up in the same game. Trout and Judge, both three time MVP's, stole the show with two homers each, joining Rare Company like Mantle and Maris. That Monday saw nine players hit multiple homers, tying for the second most ever in a single day and the most before July. Games averaged 14.4 runs each across ten matchups, the highest since 1936. Then Tuesday, Trout sparked back-to-back to back homers with Joe Adele and Jorge Soler, his six time in such a streak, tying legends like Hank Aaron. Byron Bucksden crushed two homers in four hits for the twins, hitting his 18th career multi-homer game and tying third in franchise history.

Young South steward, just 22, drove in six runs with two early homers for the Reds, the second youngest Red to do that since RBI's got tracked in. 1920, pitcher shown two, Nolan McLean hit 85 strikeouts with only 20 runs and 12 starts, elite company with Paul Schienz. Jorge O'Tani ended his scoreless pitching streak at 32 and two-thirds innings but stretched his on-base run to 48 games. Mason Miller's scoreless streak hit 30 and two-thirds for the Padres with a 76.7% strikeout rate. Rapping up the Ironman vibes, Matt Olson reached 801 straight games for the Braves, 11th longest ever. What a week of records baseball's firing on all cylinders.
