What is the Detroit Tigers Longest win streak?
Question:Me and a few guys I work with are confusing each other over what the longest win streak was for the Tigers. They just had an 8 game streak snapped tonight which equalled their best streak last year. Did the tigers ever have a longer one than that?
Answers:
19-August to 02-September, 1909, all at home: one against Chicago, three against Washington, three against Philadelphia, three against New York, three against Boston. Played a tie in Cleveland on 9/3, so the non-losing streak reached 15 games, then lost a doubleheader to the Indians on the 4th.
31-July to 14-August, 1934: won three in Cleveland starting with the second game of a doubleheader, then home for three against Chicago, three against St. Louis, three more against Cleveland, then took a doubleheader in New York before losing to the Yankees on the 15th.
It's been a while.
Last time the Kitties had a streak as long as nine wins was 1984, when they had two, one starting on Opening Day.
