just found this on Facebook and went to Baseball Reference Game Logs to verify:

Trout has reached base 45% of the time in his past 45 games.

Did Lou do his little ”x outs until the no hitter” routine last night?

I came so close at the end of the 2nd, but was kind of busy during the game.

Still amazing that we were 1 BB from a perfect game. 

[Blarg]

4 straight balls in the 5th inning. 

4      5

So he’s slumping?

Trout's career OPS is now 1.000, first among active players and 8th all-time. He was at .997 just a few days ago.

His career adjusted OPS+ ticked up to 177. He's moving up on Lou Gehrig (179) for 4th place all-time.

But Griffey!

Todd Helton hit .512 for a month in 2000?

[gurn67]

I've been a fan since '78 and I don't know if I can recall any mid-July regular season games without really thinking about it, or looking it up. I'll remember last night's game the rest of my life.

Yep.

Rod Carew hit .500 for the first month of the 1983 season (48-96) and was still batting over .400 as late as July 13th.

In the era of three outcomes, this was beyond a remarkable achievement.

[Blarg]

There were three outcomes achieved by the Mariners. 

Fly out

Ground out

Strike out

You forget the error as an outcome.

This was one heck of a Gameday Thread. So many in one accord, pulling for what was an amazing night in Angels baseball this season.
