Holliday went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.
The precocious 20-year-old took Ryan Burr deep in the seventh inning, making Holliday the youngest player in American League history to go yard in three straight games. He's also the 12th player in big-league history to accomplish that feat before his 21st birthday, a list that includes the likes of Fernando Tatis and Juan Soto as well as Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Mel Ott. Per Jake Rill of MLB.com, only two players have had longer streaks before they turned 21 -- Miguel Cabrera had homers in four straight games in 2004, and Ronald Acuna went yard in five straight in 2018. Holliday is making it clear he has no intention of going back to the minors, and in seven games since his promotion he's batting .375 (9-for-24) with a double, four homers, seven runs and 10 RBI.
