Cleveland rocks: Indians win in 19 innings, boost streak to 14

A statistical look at the Indians’ 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland’s 14th win in a row:

0 – Losses by the Indians since the Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, bringing Cleveland its first pro sports title since 1964. (The streak actually started the day before the Cavs won the title.)

3 – Years since a team won at least 14 consecutive games (2013 Atlanta Braves).

6:13 – Time it took to complete Friday’s game.

10 1/3 – Consecutive scoreless innings logged by Blue Jays’ relievers before the Indians scored in the 19th.

12 – Consecutive innings played with neither team scoring a run.

13 – Scoreless innings for the Indians’ bullpen, which ties a franchise record.

13 – Hitting streak for Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, who hit an RBI single in the third inning.

14 – Consecutive victories for the Indians, a franchise record and the most for an American League team since the 2002 Oakland A’s won 20 in a row.

19 – Total pitchers used in Friday’s game.

19 – Most innings played in a game in Blue Jays history (Toronto also played a 19-inning game against the Detroit Tigers in 2014).

21 – Games won during the longest streak in baseball history (1935 Chicago Cubs).

34 – Runners left on base Friday (each team stranded 17).

65 – Years since the Indians last won 13 consecutive games.

99 – Strikeouts for the Indians’ starting pitchers during the streak. Friday’s starter, Josh Tomlin, struck out eight.

100 – Career home runs for Toronto’s Justin Smoak, who hit a solo shot in the sixth inning for the Blue Jays’ only run of the game.
