| In the opposite of your Cleveland Indians, the Minnesota Twins have been riding a hell of a run lately. While in consecutive games won it isn't as dramatic although still a 12 game winning streak, it is what has happened in the month of June for the Twins. On May 29th, after a loss to Tampa Bay the Twins sat 2 games below the .500 mark at 24-26, but still only 1/2 game out of first behind Detroit. Since then, the Twins have a 24-4 run including winning their last 12 straight and 10 of 11 to begin the run to open up a huge 8 game lead on the now second place Tigers. That 24-4 run gives the Twins a tie for their best run ever, basically their best record in any 28 game stretch, tying he 1991 World Series winning team. The franchise also had a 24-4 run in 1932 when they were the first Washington Senators team before moving to Minnesota in 1961. One more win for their 13th straight and a 25-4 run gives them their best run ever in either location. Still a few more to go though for the longest winning streak in team history, which is by the 1991 team who won 15 straight. BTW, the major league record for consecutive wins is 26 for the 1916 New York Giants, with a tie game thrown into the streak that did not count in the standings. For consecutive wins with no ties, the record is 21 for the Chicago Cubs in 1935. You may remember 2002, when the Oakland A's set the AL record with a 20 game winning streak. |
