It bears repeating that the 1916 New York Giants, who holds the record for longest winning streak at 26, didn’t win 26 games in a row; one of their games during that stretch was an unofficial tie, something that was fairly common in those days. So if the Indians manage to win today, not only will they claim the American League record, but will tie the MLB record for consecutive wins (Chicago Cubs, 1935).
