          Nobody has driven in more runs since September 4, 2020, than Los Angeles Angels 1B/OF Jared Walsh. If that date seems like an arbitrary endpoint, it is actually not. That was the day, more than halfway through the truncated 2020 season, when Walsh finally got a legitimate chance to play regularly. He knocked in his first runs of the season, homering off Houston Astros RHP Luis Garcia and later adding a sacrifice fly. Now, including his two-run double off Trevor Bauer on Sunday, which gave the Angels a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, Walsh has managed 53 RBI in his last 52 games.
