The Boston Red Sox longest losing streak in club history is 20 games in the 1906 season. It is one game short of the longest losing streak in AL history, held by the Baltimore Orioles who lost 21 consecutive games in the 1988 season.
my understanding that the longest winning streak in the playoffs was tied by the rockies and the reds. it looks as though the rockies are about to break that - 2 outs in 9th inning, rockies ahead by 3 runs! okay, it's official. i think that makes it 7 straight in the playoffs and if you add the tiebreaker that would be 8? i have not researched this, just what i have heard. i am very excited. i was there in denver in 93 for their first season, met them all, and spent a lot of time at mile high and coors field until i moved in 98. i am so proud of them i could spit! == == --This can't be right. The 2004 Red Sox won 8 straight. They were down 3-0 to the Yankees. The won and then swept the Cardinals.
Second, the tiebreaker counts as regular season stats. Its not a playoff game.
== == The 2004 Red Sox won 8 straight and the 2005 White Sox won 8 straight.

1916 New York Giants -- their famous 26-0-1 streak (considered to be a win streak, since baseball ignores tie games) was entirely at home. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYG/1916-schedule-scores.shtml?redir The 1988 Boston Red Sox won 24 straight at Fenway, which I recall is the AL record. Wins on 6/25-29 (5), 7/15-24 (+11, 16, there's a doubleheader in there), 7/29-8/3 (+6, 22, another doubleheader), and 8/12-13 (+2, 24), finally losing to Detroit.
The Boston Red Sox currently own the longest sellout streak in Major League history at over 600 games and counting: They're called the Fenway Faithful with good reason. On July 18, Boston Red Sox fans streamed into Fenway Park for the club's 600th consecutive sellout, a record run in Major League Baseball that began in 2003. Players, coaches and principal owner John W. Henry, a commodities hedge- fund billionaire, marked the occasion by tossing 600 commemorative baseballs into the stands.
On October 2, 1978, Reggie Jackson got the game winning rbi, when he hit a solo home run in the top of the eight inning. The Yankees went on to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4.
