Ríos Finally Fails, Streak Ends at 20 Sunday, September 5th , 2060 For once, it was the Chicago Tula picking up the slack for Carlos Ríos. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Chicago manager Don Pokorski has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent and saw his 20-game hitting streak snapped by the Delmarva Gallos. Ríos was bailed out by the rest of the Tula, however, who stopped the Gallos, 8-7. The 20-year-old second baseman finished the day 0-for-3, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me." "Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow." Currently Ríos is batting .289 with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs. |
