Cubs accomplish exceedingly rare feat with second 10-game win streak of 2026 season

With their blowout win over the Rangers on Friday, the Cubs accomplished a feat not seen in the big leagues since 1955
The Chicago Cubs joined exclusive historical company on Friday night when they notched their 10th straight win.

As Sarah Langs notes, the Cubs are the first team since the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers to have two win streaks of at least 10 games within the first 40 games of a season.

Here's the very short list of teams to achieve the vanishingly rare feat:
97-56-2, second place in National League
95-40-3, won American Association
1880 Chicago White Stockings (Cubs)
Yes, the current Cubs are just the third team of the modern era to pull this off, and if history is any guide, they're well on their way to an excellent season -- maybe even one that ends with a hoisting of the trophy.

In the Cubs' case, their two 10-game heaters are pretty close together.

The Cubs notched their first win streak from April 14 through April 24.

Then they dropped three straight to the Dodgers, and then they began their current win streak with a win over the Padres on April 28.

Stated another way, the Cubs have now won 20 of their last 23 games.

This, of course, isn't out of nowhere, as the Cubs last season won 92 games and made the playoffs.

In 2026, though, they're looking like a true juggernaut thus far -- one that's already made a bit of history.
