The Arizona Diamondbacks now have the dubious distinction of losing more consecutive games on the road than any other team in MLB history. This afternoon, the D'Backs lost their 23rd consecutive game on the road falling 10-3 to the NL West leading San Francisco Giants.
If that wasn't enough, the D'Backs also lost their 14th consecutive game. Last month, the D'Backs lost 13 consecutive games. Aside from losing 28 of their last 30 games, the D'Backs haven't won a road game since Madison Bumgarner's 7-inning no-hitter in Atlanta which didn't count as a no-hitter back on April 25th.
The D'Backs, who own MLB's worst record of 20-50, do get a respite from the road as they embark upon a 7-game homestand tomorrow night. The problem is they face the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers who are presently tied for first in the NL Central. While better at home, an 11-19 record at Chase Field hardly counts as homefield advantage.
