The Braves' Dan Uggla was quick to acknowledge he never thought he'd have a hitting streak as long as 33 games. The Cubs stopped Uggla's 33-game hitting streak and rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Sunday for their fourth straight series win. - AP

Uggla's streak was the longest in the majors in five years. He was 0-for-3 with an RBI. - AP

Uggla was hitting only .173 when he started the streak on July 5. He has raised his average to .231. Uggla had 15 homers and 32 RBIs in the streak. - AP

"It was a fun run but all things have got to come to an end sometime," Uggla, with Atlanta's Jose Constanza, said. "I had fun with it. We had a nice, little roll as a team and we're looking to get back on track tomorrow." - AP
