This losing streak is the longest in Major League Baseball history.[6] The previous record was held by Boston Braves pitcher Cliff Curtis, who set the record of 23 consecutive losses in 1910-11. Young's losing streak was snapped on July 28 against the expansion Florida Marlins. Young allowed an unearned run in the top of the ninth to give the Marlins a 4-3 lead.[6] The Mets scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth against closer Bryan Harvey to win the game 5-4.
