For the regular season it is
21 games (tie)
- 1880 Chicago White Stockings
Streak started June 5, 1880 (defeated Providence Grays, 6-3)
Streak ended July 10, 1880 (ended by Cleveland Blues, 0-2)
- 1935 Chicago Cubs
Streak started September 4, 1935 (defeated Philadelphia Phillies, 8-2)
Streak ended September 28, 1935 (ended by St. Louis Cardinals, 5-7)
Note: The 1916 New York Giants won 26 consecutive games from September 7 to September 30. Although the Giants tied the Pirates in the second game of a doubleheader on September 18 1-1, Major League Baseball treats all ties as if they never existed.
