Cleveland Stops Londono's Hit Streak Monday, April 27th , 2043 For once, it was the Boston Red Sox picking up the slack for Ronald Londono. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Boston manager Gary Vacek has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 24-game hitting streak snapped by the Cleveland Spiders. Londono was bailed out by the rest of the Red Sox, however, who stopped the Spiders, 4-3. The 25-year-old left fielder finished the day 0-for-4, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me." "Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow." In 19 games Londono is hitting .395 this season with 34 hits, 3 home runs, 15 RBIs, 2 walks, .435 OBP and has scored 9 runs. |
