Christian Yelich continues to rake, hitting two more home runs Saturday and drawing a walk to extend his lead atop the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Nine of those home runs came in April, so he has an outside shot at the record for the month. Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez share that record at 14. Fourteen is also the record for home runs through the end of April, and Yelich may blow that one away.
The rest of the top five remains the same. Anthony Rendon hit streak ended when he left in the middle of the game after being hit by a pitch. Cody Bellinger drew a walk, Mike Trout drew a walk, and Michael Conforto took the collar with an 0 for 4. Four through eight in the ranking are now very bunched, with just three points separating the five players.
