Baseball’s longest winning streak in 101 years continues

The Indians have extended their American League-record winning streak, making
it 22 straight with a 3-2 comeback over the Royals. Newcomer Jay Bruce won it
with a double in the bottom of the 10th, one day after smacking a three-run
homer.Jose Ramirez led off the bottom of the 10th with his 50th double of the season
before Bruce came through with his biggest hit since joining Cleveland from the
Mets.

The Royals were one strike from a 2-1 victory when Francisco Lindor
(lihn-DOHR’) lined an opposite-field double off the wall in left field, bringing
home the tying run. Alex Gordon almost made a leaping catch at the fence to end
the winning streak.

It’s the longest major league winning streak since the 1916 Giants won 26 in a
row.
