 | Tuesday, September 1st, 2015: Pirates Chill MacIntyre's Hot Streak
Derek MacIntyre's 22-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today in the Rockies 3-0 setback to the Pirates. MacIntyre went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. Talking to BNN after the game he was visibly upset. But the streak had little to do with it.
"I'm disappointed we lost, I'm not one bit disappointed that the streak ended," MacIntyre said. "The hitting streak was just one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I'm not going to lose any sleep tonight."
This season MacIntyre is batting .302 with 16 home runs. He has scored 44 runs and driven in 88.
