According to a report by MLB.com, Tampa Bay’s 7 consecutive wins are tied for second all-time since 1995, when the wild card system was implemented. The Kansas City Royals’ nine-game winning streak in 2003 is the longest since 1995. The Kansas City Royals also recorded a seven-game winning streak in 2015.
In addition, the Baltimore Orioles (2016), San Francisco Giants (2003), and Texas Rangers (1996) also won 7 consecutive wins.
The MLB records of 13 consecutive wins by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1987 and the Atlanta Braves in 1982 are the best ever.

The reason why Tampa Bay can run such a winning streak is, of course, because of the harmony of pitching. Tampa Bay hit a whopping 18 in 7 games, recording the most home runs among 30 MLB teams. The team’s batting average is 0.287, which is second only to the St. Louis Cardinals (0.305).

In particular, while recording seven consecutive wins, there is still no save, which means that the closer has not had a chance to post a single save. That means that Tampa Bay will play an overwhelming game.
