MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Philadelphia Phillies Have Won 6 Straight (MLB)
Published
Every result in MLB feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
As of this morning, nine different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
Riding high
The longest active run belongs to Philadelphia Phillies: six consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Kansas City Royals are building a case of their own at 5 straight.
Add New York Yankees to the list too, 4 in a row.
Going the wrong way
Baltimore Orioles cannot find the exit: four consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
It is not much prettier for Athletics, losers of 4 straight.
And Miami Marlins are quietly carrying a 3-game slide of their own.
By the numbers
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Philadelphia Phillies | won 6 straight |
| Kansas City Royals | won 5 straight |
| New York Yankees | won 4 straight |
| Baltimore Orioles | lost 4 straight |
| Athletics | lost 4 straight |
The fine print
The longest run on the board sits at 6 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
One to circle: Philadelphia Phillies meet St. Louis Cardinals in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
