    The 1916 New York Giants won 26 consecutive games (with 1 tie) from September 7th to September 30th.

    The record for the most consecutive games won with no ties is 21 by the 1935 Chicago Cubs from September 4th to September 27th.

    The 2002 Oakland A's won 20 in a row from August 13th to September 4th.
