Zach Britton saved Sunday Orioles game against the Astros, giving him 55 consecutive saves:
Britton broke the AL mark held by Tom Gordon, who notched 54 straight saves with Boston from 1998-99. Britton started his run on Oct. 1, 2015, added 47 in a row last season and is 6 for 6 this year.
The major league record of 84 is held by Eric Gagne of the Dodgers from 2002-04. Saves became an official statistic in 1969.
Britton earned his fifth save on April 14 and endured two months on the disabled list with a strained left forearm before returning on July 5.
Of course, some people might object to Britton exploiting batters. 🙂
