Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard, snapped his incredible Major League streak Sunday. The burly first baseman was unable to play in his 344 consecutive game after suffering from flu-like symptoms. He was hospitalized Saturday for the second time in two days. He was released Sunday, but did not play in his team’s 2-1 defeat to the Baltimore Orioles. Howard reportedly had a CT scan and was given antibiotics. Team officials said he could be suffering from a sinus infection. A 2006 National League MVP, Howard played 343 straight games since May 25, 2007 – the longest active streak in the majors.
