Undefeated Teams: When Will They Lose?

There are four teams right now who have not lost a game, those teams are the: Orioles, Rangers, Phillies, and Reds. The Rangers and the Orioles each have 4 wins and no losses, while the Phillies and Reds have 3 wins and no losses. The longest streak to start off the season is 13 which was done by both the Atlanta Braves in 1982 and Milwaukee Brewers in 1987. Can any of these teams tie or break this record? The way the Texas Rangers are playing, they just might do it. Baseball Tonight said there must be something in the water at Arlington because the Rangers have a combined 13 HRs. Nelson Cruz is responsible for 4 of them, and now is alongside Mark McGwire and Willie Mays. These three are the only three to hit 4 homeruns in the first four games of the season (one in each game). Straying away from the Rangers, the Orioles are still alone at the top of the AL East. Buck Showalter has led the Orioles to victory, but credits the wins to the healthiness of the players. He says with Brian Roberts back, the team can function properly, and today Roberts hit a 3-run blast to give the Birds the lead. One Oriole who is feeling under the weather is pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, he stated on Twitter, "Initially thought I had BieberFever but turns out I have pneumonia.Feeling better but got myself an overnight stay at hospital. Go #Orioles." What a guy. Other than that, Wieters, Markakis, and Jones have stepped up their game to contend among one of most difficult divisions in baseball. Honestly, the Reds have been playing great baseball and were fortunate to win on Opening Day with a walk-off win from Ramon Hernandez. Other than that, their team is healthy and full of talent, giving them the edge in the NL Central. And who could forget the Phillies? I think we all know what happened, but since I have not recapped Sunday game that Roy Oswalt pitched, I should do that now. Oswalt got the win for the Phils, which was a game full of excitement. Howard hit a 3-run homer, and Hunter Pence blasted one into right field for the Astros. I wish all 4 teams luck in keeping their winning streaks alive, and hope that they get to at least 4/5 wins.
