Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki saw his preseason hitting streak snapped at 20 games after going 0-for-5 against the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
Ichiro, who had hit safely in all of his games this spring, grounded out three times, reached on an error on a grounder to shortstop and flied out to right. Seattle won the game 5-4.
At Lakeland, Fla., Hideki Matsui grounded out to second and flied out to right in the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
Matsui finished spring training with a .317 average, going over .300 for the third straight year, on 20-for-63 batting with five homers and 16 RBIs. The Yankees open their regular season on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
