The American League’s Cleveland Indians notched a franchise-best 14th straight win in a Friday night defeat of the Toronto Blue Jays that extended to 19 innings. It’s the longest winning streak in baseball since Atlanta won 14 straight in 2013, and the longest by an AL team since Oakland won 20 in a row in 2002. Cleveland won 13 straight in 1942 and again in 1951, according to the team’s website. The Indians currently enjoy a seven-game lead over the second-place Kansas City Royals, defending World Series champs, in the AL’s Central Division.
