Guardians End Leal's Streak
Tuesday, May 28th , 2047
Juan Leal came rolling into today's game against the Cleveland Guardians with a 23-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The 27-year-old Baltimore Orioles second baseman went 0-for-2 against the Guardians as the Orioles fell, 6-4.
"I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all."
So far on the season Leal is hitting .347 with 1 home run, 15 RBIs and 21 runs scored. He has 66 hits and played in 51 games.
