Question about losing streaks?

The Texas Rangers have an 8 game losing streak to the Red Sox in Boston. They have wins over the Sox in Arlington, but in Boston they can not seem to win here lately. SO my question is, what is the longest losing streak that one team has over another visiting team? It has got to be more than 8 games. I am not talking about losing streaks of one team to another, I have been able to look that up. I am only talking about losing streaks to another team as visitors.





Thanks to any answers.


(Well, thanks to any correct answers)



Since 1954 -- not all of history, but the complete expansion era -- the longest visitor's losing streak is 19, accomplished twice.





Blue Jays at Orioles, 15-Sept-1978 through 02-May-1981.


Indians at Yankees, 10-June-1960 through 21-April-1962.





Details:


Jays: 1978, won at Baltimore on 6/6, lost 9/15-17 (3); 1979, lost 6/29-7/1 ( 4, 7), 9/3-6 ( 3, 10); 1980, lost 6/24-26 ( 3, 13), 9/19-21 ( 3, 16); 1981, lost 4/30-5/2 ( 3, 19), won on 5/3.





Indians: 1960, won on 5/12, lost 6/10-11 (2), 7/26-28 ( 3, 5), 8/26-27 ( 4, 9 -- ah, for the heady days of back-to-back doubleheaders); 1961, lost 4/27-29 ( 2, 11), 7/5-6 ( 2, 13), 9/7-10 ( 5, 18); 1962, lost 4/21 ( 1, 19), swept doubleheader 4/22. (The Tribe then lost four more in NYC before sweeping another doubleheader in August.)








For getting those troublesome bathroom mirrors really clean, always reach for Windex Non-Streak Formula.




The Chipmaker always has a great answer.




People get dirty streaks in their clothes. So you might want to know how to lose them.
