    Michael Cuddyer Hitting Streak Now at 27 (Giants vs Rockies)

    While Michael Cuddyer extends his league-best hitting streak to 27, the Colorado Rockies aren’t exactly buoyed by his sudden excellence in hitting, losing for the fourth time in six games, dropping once again below .500 as the San Francisco Giants, enjoying some excellent pitching from Madison Bumgarner.

  • Dan Uggla Hitting Streak Ends at 33 (Cubs vs Braves)

    Dan Uggla is the latest player in the DiMaggio chase who falls short. It seemed he had a few more games to this streak in him – Uggla was hotter during the last week than this whole season and hitting streak, boming home runs and finally getting some multiple hit games. Alas, the longest hitting streak in the Majors in five years is now over.

  • Dan Uggla’s Extends Hitting Streak to 33 (Braves vs Cubs)

    Dan Uggla continued to be red hot, extending his hitting streak to 33 and adding a home run, his 27th of the year, a shared third sport in the NL, one less than Albert Pujols and Lance Berkman. The Atlanta Braves, however, weren’t fortunate enough to continue their winning streak, losing 8-4 to the Chicago Cubs after five straight wins.

  • Dan Uggla Gets to 32 With Style (Braves vs Cubs)

    Dan Uggla’s hitting streak just gets better and better. It’s not that he’s reached 32.

  • Dan Uggla and His Hitting Streak? 31 and Still Going (Braves vs Marlins)

    Dan Uggla didn’t just get another hit to extend his hitting streak to 31, the longest in the Majors since Chase Utley’s 36 in 2006. He hit 3-5 with 2 RBIs as the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins 6-2, completing a series sweep in Miami, improving to 69-49 and keeping their firm grip of the Wild Card spot in the NL.

  • Dan Uggla’s Hitting Streak Reaches 30 (Braves vs Marlins)

    Dan Uggla didn’t help his batting average or the rest of those numbers on another ugly hitting night. One for six, striking out twice, leaving 5 on base. Still, his hit in the fifth drew more cheers from the dugout than Martin Prado’s go ahead single in the 11th inning, giving the Braves (68-49) a 4-3 over the Florida Marlins, their second straight win against them before the series ends today.
