Win streaks aside, we are witnessing history

The Tribe has won a team record 13 games in a row, but it's the dominance of their starting rotation that should be creating the bigger buzz all summer long.

It seems strange to say when you’re talking about an all-time franchise record, but the Cleveland Indians’ 13-game winning streak might actually be obscuring the more significant accomplishments of the past two weeks. The last time the Tribe hit the No. 13 mark—during the Bob Feller / Larry Doby era in 1951—they outscored opponents by a whopping 63-30 margin during that run. This time around, it’s an even more eye-popping 80-26 gap, launching Cleveland’s season run differential from a respectable +40 to a phenomenal +94, second only to the Cubs in all of baseball.
