Burleson homers in Cardinals' 1-0 win against Rangers
Rookie Alec Burleson pulled a first-pitch homer to right field in the eighth inning Wednesday night and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Texas 1-0, ending Rangers infielder Marcus Semien’s hitting streak at 25 games. Semien was 0-for-4 to stop the longest streak in the major leagues this season and the longest of his career. The streak tied for the second longest in club history, behind Gabe Kapler’s 28-gamer in 2000.
