All good things must come to an end, and on Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays halted the Tampa Bay Rays’ historic 13-0 start, handing them their first loss of the 2023 campaign.
Falling 6-3 to the Blue Jays, the Rays’ pursuit of the St. Louis Maroons’ record ends after 14 games. Tampa Bay walks away tied with the Milwaukee Brewers (1987) and Atlanta Braves (1982) for the second-longest winning streak to begin a season. Meanwhile, the Maroons’ 20-0 start to the 1884 season remains at the top of the list in the history books.
