The Orioles’ 14th straight loss in Monday’s Memorial Day matinee against the Minnesota Twins isn’t close to the longest losing streak in modern major league history. It’s not even close to their own franchise record.
Those belong to the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies, who lost 23 games in a row, and the 1988 Orioles, who began the season with an American League-record 21 consecutive losses.
As they’re now tied for the second-longest losing streak in franchise history with the inaugural 1954 Orioles, their peers in having lost so many games in a row are dwindling.
