To try to take this streak to 53 games, King faced Matt Morris in Pittsburgh. Berroa made it 2-0 with a 2 run homer in the 1st to give us a 2-0 lead. King then followed with a strikeout in his 1st chance to extend the streak
WIth 2 outs in the 3rd, King gently tapped back to Morris to make him 0-2.
He came up with 2 outs again in the 6th as we trailed 3-2 and flew out to the track in center.
He had 1 more chance in the top of the 9th trailing 3-2. He faced Mike Henneman, who we traded in the spring. So it would be fitting for him to end the streak.
Not making this up......1st pitch 390 foot bomb to left to tie it up at 3.
Unfortunately, Rafael Novoa surrendered a walk-off home run to Mike Marshall and we lost 4-3.
53 games down. 3 to tie
