    Dan Uggla was quick to acknowledge he never thought he'd have a hitting streak as long as 33 games.

    His streak was the longest in the majors in five years. He was 0-for-3 with an RBI on Sunday.

    "That's more games than I thought I would ever have," Uggla said.

    Now, the Chicago Cubs are streaking.

    The Cubs stopped Uggla's streak and rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Sunday for their fourth straight series win.

    The Cubs have won 11 of 14.
