Arizona Diamondbacks lose 23rd straight road game, surpassing record shared by 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The Arizona Diamondbacks made dubious history Thursday afternoon, setting an MLB record with their 23rd straight road loss, a 10-3 trouncing at the hands of the San Francisco Giants. The dejected D-backs trudged off the field and quietly made their way back to Oracle Park’s visiting clubhouse following the final out of their record-setting loss, breaking a tie with the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for road futility. Diamondbacks players periodically glanced at the center-field scoreboard throughout this blowout. Arizona’s last road win came nearly two months ago in Atlanta on April 25. The D-backs have lost 14 in a row overall and have the worst record in the majors.
