In Brady’s excellent recap from last night, he noted what got pointed out on the broadcast: the San Francisco Giants have won 10 straight games on the road (in the same season) for the very first time. It last happened in 1952 when they were the New York Giants and coincided with a 12-4 start to their season, a full 10 years before the National League had a 162-game schedule. But that wasn’t the biggest bit of team or baseball history last night.
A 10-game road winning streak has happened now 260 times in baseball history, stretching back as far as 1901 but happening as many as 65 times since the turn of the century.
