The Oakland A's swept a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins today winning 7-0 and 1-0, respectively. In so doing, the A's have now won 10 games in a row. They are now tied with the Seattle Mariners atop the AL West.
What makes this winning streak remarkable is that the A's began the season 1-7.
Of course, winning streaks are nothing new to the A's. They memorably won 20 straight games during the 2002 season which was documented in the movie Moneyball.
Will history repeat itself? The odds are against it. But even so the A's are in far better shape than they were only 12 days ago.
But it is a long season. Will the A's still be playing their A game 12 days from now?
