 | Saturday, May 22nd, 2010: Braves Chill Morales's Hot Streak
The Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the Atlanta Braves 3-0 today at Chase Field, but perhaps the bigger news was the end of Kendry Morales's 20-game hitting streak.
"We felt if we could slow down Morales, we would win the game," the Braves manager explained after the game. "They really seemed to feed off of his streak, so we really wanted to make sure they had nothing to feed off of."
So far this year Morales is hitting .341 with 9 home runs.

| Thursday, May 20th, 2010: 20-Game Hitting Streak for Morales
The Diamondbacks won the game today, but you would have been hard pressed to find anyone talking about it. The focus seemed to be on first baseman Kendry Morales extending his hitting streak to 20 games by going 2-for-4 in the game.

For the record, the Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 at Chase Field.
K. Morales struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th and grounded out in the 7th.
