21 straight. That is the how many wins the red-hot Cleveland Indians are up to after defeating the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday afternoon. The 21st win also sets a new American League record for longest winning streak, which was previously held by the Oakland Athletics, who won 20 straight 15 years ago. Next up in the record books is the longest winning streak in baseball history, 26 games. 21 games is tied for second-longest with the Chicago Cubs, who achieved that feat back in 1935.

However, that is small potatoes for the Indians who, thanks to this historic run, have a magic number of four games in terms of winning their division. Cleveland also boasts the best record in the AL and they are just a few games behind the skidding Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in baseball.

The Indians host the Kansas City Royals for a four-game series at Progressive Field starting Thursday night as they look to make history and get another step closer to winning the division crown.

While the Indians are setting baseball history as a team, we have Rhys Hoskins, who continues to rake.

To the roundup!
