who ended the oakland a's winning streak in 2002
2002 Oakland Athletics season The new-look Athletics experienced a bumpy start to the 2002 regular season. The team followed a respectable 15-10 start with an abysmal 5-16 run; at the end of their slump, on May 23, the team's record stood at 20-26. From this point forward, the Athletics' fortunes improved significantly. In a prelude to the team's famous late-season winning streak, the Athletics went 16-1 from June 6 to June 24. The surge propelled the club within two games of first place. For now, this was as close as the team would get; a prolonged funk saw the A's play roughly .500 baseball for the next month-and-a-half. This period ended with an unremarkable 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on August 12.
