The Kansas City Royals did something to Mark Chamberlain no team had done for the last 22 games -- they held him hitless and stopped his consecutive-game hitting streak. But they didn't stop the Yankees. New York (A) came away with a 4-0 victory at Yankee Stadium.
Commenting on the demise of the streak, the 30-year-old right fielder told BNN, "Hey, I knew it wasn't going to last forever, but it was a good ride while it lasted."
So far this year in 45 games Chamberlain is hitting .295 with 4 home runs, 32 RBIs and 29 runs scored. |
