Another day, another franchise record by the wayside for the 2017 Cleveland Indians. The Tribe’s offense out-slugged the Angels’ relievers late in the game in a 6-5 win Wednesday night and the Indians stayed one step ahead of the Astros for the best record in the American League.
The win marked the 13th road victory in a row, a new franchise record. The 1995 Indians, the best Indians team that I’ve seen in my lifetime, didn’t do it. With all their dominance in going 100-44 in a strike shortened season, their longest winning streak was nine games overall, seven on the road.
