Lugo's Streak Ends in Controversy

Julio Lugo’s streak of consecutive hits and times on base came to an end because of a call at first base that, on replay, appeared incorrect. Lugo was called out by umpire Ed Montague, who ruled the short-hop throw from shortstop Erick Aybar was scooped in time by Casey Kotchman.

Lugo had reached base safely in seven straight plate appearances on a walk and then six base hits, including two last night.
