The St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets on Wednesday night, ending Jeurys Familia's string of 52 straight saves.

Familia hadn't blown a regular-season save opportunity since July 30, 2015.

His franchise-record saves streak was the third longest in major league history, behind Tom Gordon (54) and Eric Gagne (84).

"They made good contact on my sinker, and I walked a guy and [Yadier] Molina came and jumped on the first pitch, and that's it," he said.

With a single on Tuesday night, Ichiro Suzuki now sits just three hits shy of 3,000 for his Major League career.

Ichiro had gone 0-for-7 in the at-bats leading up to the single.

He is not expected to start on Wednesday afternoon when the Miami Marlins take on the Philadelphia Phillies.
 He would be the 30th player in Major League history to reach 3,000 hits.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Washington Nationals 6-3 on Thursday, handing Stephen Strasburg his first loss of the season.

Justin Turner homered twice and drove in five runs.

Strasburg dropped to 13-1 on the season. It was Strasburg's first loss since Sept. 9, 2015.

"The guys had a great game plan," Dave Roberts said. "I thought that they stressed Stras early, and we hit a couple balls out of the ballpark."

Strasburg allowed a season-high six earned runs on seven hits but also struck out 10 and allowed just one base runner in his final three innings.

Hyun Soo Kim hit a home run in the seventh inning against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night to allow the Baltimore Orioles to set a Major League record for home runs in the month of June.

The Orioles hit 56 home runs in the month. The 1996 Oakland A's had the previous record of 55.
