Longest winning streak in MLB history. Our generation's DiMaggio streak.

I thought the record was 26?

The streak for most games without a loss is 26. The Giants won 12, tied one (which counts because both teams kept the stats from said game), then won the next 14.

But the record for most consecutive wins WAS the 1935 Cubs with 21, but now it's the Indians.

I saw some of that late inning drama in Cleveland. It's crazy how the fans are acting like if the Indians lose it's the end of the world. It's kinda surreal how this win streak has taken on a significance to the point that if it ends in Cleveland people are gonna feel like they lost Game 7 of the World Series.

Royals/Indians game ended up one of the best games of the year. Wow.

Sort of some partial truths in this post...both teams kept stats, but neither team counted the result of the "tie" in the standings, which was weather shortened and called off due to darkness, then replayed. Here is a good article to help people understand why the 26-game record is the record.

Both MLB and Elias agree the 26-game streak is the MLB record despite what people are saying about a "tie." Len Kasper mentioned this on the Cubs game tonight, too.

Put it this way...if the Indians are losing or tied tomorrow and the result of the game is incomplete/ultimately wiped out and replayed, nobody is going to deem the streak as being "finished on account of a tie/loss."

I think that's a bit extreme. I think the fans are just caught up in it since Cleveland is near the record. I doubt they'll compare the streak ending to how they felt last year.

Two straight walk-off home runs for the Twins. Pretty fun.

Last night's was Byron Buxton, who has bounced back from that putrid start to put together a decent season.

I thought for sure the Twinkies would bail out but they've kept a hold on that WC spot. Dozier has heated up at the right time.

Ugh, "Twinkies". Grinds my gears.
