| Breaking News |  | 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.

Atlanta fans will be disappointed to learn that Ryan Zimmerman developed a damaged meniscus while running the bases in today's game. After the doctor informed the Atlanta Braves manager that Zimmerman was expected to miss 3 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the third baseman could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
To date this year Zimmerman is batting .226 with 5 home runs.
