Last night, down 6-4 in the 9th inning, the Rays rallied following a Kelly Johnson homer & ended up defeating the Orioles 10-6.  The win not only snapped Jim Johnson's streak of 35-consecutive saves but it killed a little known O's streak of wins with a lead after seven.
 
 For 109-straight games, the Orioles had not lost a game with the lead after seven innings.  A very impressive streak, especially in a game where finishing is so crucial to a team's success. The best part about baseball is it doesn't take much; one hit and suddenly the opponent is rallying.  
 
The Rays will look for the series sweep today.

that streak is one of those stats you think is just a random stat and then realize how its actually a fun stat.
