Tommy Edman‘s 20-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today as the St. Louis Cardinals suffered a 5-4 setback against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Edman went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. He was visibly upset during a postgame press conference, but it appeared that the streak had little to do with it.
“The hitting streak was one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I’m not going to lose any sleep about it tonight,” he said. “On the other hand, I am going to lose sleep about dropping this game today.”
To date this year Edman is batting .315 with 15 home runs.
