While it is technically not impossible for a team to go 162-0 during the regular season, it’s about as nearly impossible as anything. In 1916, the New York Giants (baseball) won 26 games in a row. That’s as close as anyone has come. The Chicago Cubs came into Monday night winning six straight. But that was as far as the road would take them.
The offense cooled off, pushing just three runs across home plate and generating just six hits. Jameson Taillon pitched seven strong innings, giving up just three hits and not allowing a run.
