MLB Streak Watch, Milwaukee Brewers' Run Hits 5

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.

There are four clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.

The teams stacking wins

Milwaukee Brewers just keep stacking, five wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.

Los Angeles Dodgers are building a case of their own at 3 straight.

Stuck in the barrel

The skid to watch belongs to San Francisco Giants, losers of five in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.

St. Louis Cardinals have dropped 4 in a row themselves.

By the numbers

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

One more thing

At 5 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
