This is the second straight year that the Twins have produced a winning streak of at least 12 games.
They’re the first MLB team to win at least 12 straight games in consecutive seasons since Cleveland did it in 2016-17. The only other team from one of the men’s major sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) to accomplish that feat is the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, who had streaks of that length in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.
Each of the last two years, the Twins have used a long winning streak to bounce back from a slow start.
Last year, the Twins got off to a 7-13 start before reeling off 12 straight victories, though they eventually missed the playoffs after losing seven of their last eight games. This year, the Twins were 13-20 before winning 13 straight.
