Two hitting streaks of more than 20 games end today, and a new one is born. Boston’s Dustin Pedroia goes 0 for 4 to end his streak at 25 games in a 3 – 1 loss to the White Sox. The Marlins’ Emilio Bonifacio is also kept hitless in a 5 – 0 loss to the Braves, ending his streak at 26 games, the second-longest in team history. During that game, Atlanta 2B Dan Uggla hits a three-run homer to get a hit in his 20th straight game in support of Brandon Beachy’s pitching.
