What is the Longest Losing Streak in Major League Baseball History Excluding April?
Spanning from August 2019 to September 2021, the Baltimore Orioles endured a record-breaking losing streak of 56 games, excluding the month of April when teams typically experience more losses due to player adjustments and team evaluation. This streak surpassed the previous record held by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who lost 53 games in a row from 1916 to 1917.
The Orioles' historic losing streak was characterized by a combination of factors, including injuries to key players, a lack of depth in the pitching staff, and an overall ineffective offense. Despite their struggles, the Orioles remained determined to break out of their slump, and they finally managed to end the streak with a 10-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 2, 2021.
