Carlos Carrasco struck out 14 hitters in 7 and one-third innings of work, while Jason Kipnis and Rajai Davis homered, as Cleveland tied a franchise record with its 13th consecutive win with a 4-1 victory over host Toronto last night. It's the longest streak in the major leagues this season, and ties the franchise mark set in 1942 and matched in 1951. Cleveland manager Terry Francona says the performances of Carrasco and the rest of his starting rotation are key to the team's success.
Davis says players are not thinking about the streak.
Cleveland is in first place in the American League Central Division with a six game lead over defending World Series champion Kansas City. Cleveland goes for the franchise record this afternoon against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
