The Cleveland Guardians secured their eighth consecutive victory by defeating the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Saturday night. This winning streak marks the longest for Cleveland since their impressive 22-game run in 2017, and it is the first time since 2001 that they have achieved eight straight wins in May.
Despite their remarkable performance, the Guardians have not been able to widen the gap in the AL Central standings. They currently maintain a 1 1/2 game lead over the Kansas City Royals, who have also won eight consecutive games.
