Roy Halladay attempts to win his 15th straight decision this evening and in the process set a team record for consecutive wins when the Toronto Blue Jays start a two-game series against the Chicago White Sox at the SkyDome.
Halladay has won 14 straight decisions since losing his first two starts of the season and with a win tonight he will match Roger Clemens' team-record for consecutive victories which he set in 1998. His last loss came back on April 15 when he found himself on the wrong end of a 5-0 decision against the New York Yankees, who have handed Halladay both of his losses this season.
His winning streak is the longest in the majors since Clemens won 16 in a row with the Yankees in 2001. It has been 18 starts and just over 14 weeks since the 26-year-old righthander suffered his last loss.
Halladay, who has pitched to a 3.33 earned run average this season, tossed his first complete game of the season against the White Sox back on May 27, limiting Chicago to one run on seven hits in a 5-1 victory. For his career he has faced the White Sox six times in his career - three starts - and is 1-1 against them with a 2.76 ERA.
