Rube Marquard won 19 consecutive games in 1912... I don't think that record has ever been broken. If you're interested in Baseball records, I recommend the book <a href="http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewbook&BOOK=17728">Clearing the Bases (the ebooks and audiobooks version)</a>. It's really interesting... parts are a little sad bc baseball isn't the clean sport it used to be... but still interesting.

That would depend on when one believes the 'modern era' of MLB began. For this answer, we will take Baseball Almanac's year of 1977 as the beginning of the 'modern era'. Since 1977, the most wins in a season by a pitcher is 27 by Bob Welch of the Oakland Athletics in 1990.
