Streak Watch in MLB: Milwaukee Brewers at 5 and Counting

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

The longest active run belongs to Milwaukee Brewers: five consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.

Behind them, Los Angeles Dodgers have quietly won 3 in a row.

The skids

San Francisco Giants cannot find the exit: five consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.

St. Louis Cardinals are on a slide of their own at 4 straight losses.

At a glance

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

Worth remembering

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.
