How the St. Louis Cardinals are making history

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 14 consecutive games. They have a 99.6 percent chance of making the postseason, a feat that seemed impossible on Aug. 10 when those chances were just 1.4 percent, and have positioned them for a winner-take-all wild-card matchup.

It is tied for the longest winning streak in franchise history, tying a mark that was set in 1935. Earlier on Friday afternoon, when that streak was extended to 13 games, it was tied for the second longest streak in team history since at least 1901.

Such an improbable run possible required the Cardinals to get otherworldly performances from their key players.
