Entering Friday night's game against the Angels, Michael Young had put the ball in play 458 times, and of those 458 batted balls exactly zero of them were pop-ups.
What Goes Up ...

The streak is over, though. With two outs in the bottom of the first inning, Young lifted a pop into unpleasant territory near first base, where Mark Trumbo -- despite what must have been an immense amount of pressure -- recorded the out and forestalled history.

Meanwhile, Orange County's Howie Kendrick did not pop up in Friday's game, which leaves him as this season's non-popping-up leader, at 323 batted balls.
