Hanley Ramirez went 0-for-4 last night as his career-high 19-game hitting streak came to an end. Ramirez batted .486 (36-for-74) with six doubles, two triples, six homers and 18 RBI during the run, which is tied for the third-longest in the NL this season. Overall, among players with 100 or more plate appearances this season, Ramirez leads the Majors with a .716 slugging percentage, while ranking second in batting average (.404) and third in on-base percentage (.441). * According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Yasiel Puig and Ramirez are the first pair of teammates in more than 80 years to concurrently own batting averages of .400 or better at the end of a game, at least 100 at-bats into a season. The last teammates to do so were Al Simmons (58-for-144, .403) and Mickey Cochrane (60-for-149, .403) of the Philadelphia Athletics, who were each batting .400 through the first game of a doubleheader on May 30, 1931.
