Cardinals' slugger Jordan Walker hasn't homered in the past four games, but he heads into tonight's game in Miami riding the second longest hitting streak of his MLB career.
Though his power has cooled of late, Jordan Walker has still managed to contribute on a daily basis to the red-hot Cardinals, who enter tonight’s game in Miami as winners of five straight.
When Walker doubled off the wall in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 7-5 win over the Astros, it extended his hitting streak to 14 games. It is the second-longest streak of Walker’s three-plus year MLB career, trailing only the 17-game streak he put together as a rookie from June 6-29 of the 2023 season. Walker, of course opened his MLB career with a 12-game hit streak as a 20-year-old.
Over the weekend in Houston, Walker had four hits, a double and an RBI as the Cardinals swept the Astros in a three-game series.
The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Walker saw a three-game streak with a home run end at three on April 14. Over a nine-game stretch, Walker homered seven times between April 4-13. MLB’s leader in homers with eight on April 13, Walker has failed to homer in the past four games – all Cardinals wins.
Breaking down Walker's 14-game hit streak
An early-season candidate to win the National League’s Comeback Player of the Year award after hitting just .215 with six homers in 2025, Walker started his current hitting streak on April 4 with a three-hit afternoon that included a grand slam and five RBI.
During his current 14-game hitting streak, Walker has had five multi-hit games. How about this for a hot streak for the powerful right fielder: He has slashed .345/.407/.741/1.138 with seven homers, two doubles and 13 RBI during the 14-game spree.
For the season, Walker leads the Cardinals in batting average (.305), slugging (.646), OPS (1.013), hits (25)m homers (eight), RBI (16) and strikeouts (27) and he’s tied for first in runs scored (17). His eight homers are tied for third in MLB, trailing onlyu the 10 hit by Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and the nine crushed by New York’s Aaron Judge.
