| Breaking News |  | Thursday, June 2nd, 2016: Kansas City Halts Chamberlain's Hitting Steak
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. |

In 2016, Castro is hitting .366 with 18 home runs and 42 RBIs in 47 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .423 with 18 walks and 39 runs scored.
