Manager LOSING IT as Diamondbacks Closing In On All-Time Record-Breaking Losing Streak!
The road-weary Arizona Diamondbacks lost yet another game away from home today, 4-0 in Oakland. That's 19 straight road losses. Only three teams have ever lost more consecutive games on the road. The record is 22.
The #Dbacks Road Horrow Show continues: They lose their 19th consecutive road game, getting 2-hit in 4-0 loss to the #Athletics. The last time to lose 20 consecutive road games is the '69 #Athletics; the all-time record is 22. They don't win at home, either, losing 30 of last 35.

Manager Torey Lovullo didn't wait for the game to end during their 17th straight loss on Monday, to let his team have it right in the dugout!
The good news for the D'Backs? They get a three-game reprieve, with a home set against the Angels through this coming weekend.
But then... The roadshow continues. Their next series away from Chase Field, starting on Monday, is against the team with the best record in the National Leauge, the San Francisco Giants. By the time that 4-game set is over, the Snakes just might sit alone atop (on bottom) of that all-time road losing streak list.
