The longest winning streak in the majors came to an end Sunday at the hands of the slumping Orioles, who with an 8-1 win over the Oakland Athletics ended the visitors’ run of 13 straight victories.
Before Oakland strung together such a run, the last team in the majors to win that many games in a row was the Houston Astros, who won 12 straight games from June 6-18, 2018.
The Athletics’ streak fell at the hands of a pair of homegrown Orioles in starter John Means and left fielder Austin Hays.
Means continued what has been one of the best Aprils in all of baseball by allowing one run on two hits with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.
