Yount Lasted 276 Games Streak Ends in Injury
Milwaukee center fielder Robin Yount saw his club record for consecutive games end after 276 on Wednesday when he injured his left knee colliding with the wall while trying to catch Manny Lee's leadoff triple in a 6-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Team physician Paul Jacobs drained fluid and Yount hopes to recover quickly while downplaying the streak compared to Cal Ripken Jr.'s. In other notes, Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio was arrested in Barquisimeto over a custody dispute affecting his grandson.
