INDIANS SET AL RECORD WITH 21 CONSECUTIVE WINS
The Cleveland Indians defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday afternoon, giving them their 21st consecutive win and passing the 2002 Oakland Athletics for a new American League record. The Indians win moved them into a tie with the 1935 Chicago Cubs and 1880 Chicago White Stockings at 21 consecutive wins. Those streaks are cited by some as the modern major-league record, though the 1916 New York Giants sandwiched a tie into a 26-game win streak - a feat that's stirred up some debate about when the Indians will actually match the all-time major-league streak.
