Brooklyn Snaps Kim's Streak at 20 Saturday, July 28th, 2035 For 20 straight games, Hyeon-cheong Kim tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 27-year-old Quebec City Les Bleus third baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Dodgers held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Quebec City Coliseum today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 20. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Les Bleus took the win by the score of 4-2. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." Kim is hitting .328 this year with 9 home runs and 45 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .382, 21 walks and scored 33 times. |
