Guards Lose 8th Straight Behind Bibee

May 10, 2026

It wasn’t his fault, but the Guardians lost for the eighth straight time with on the mound on Saturday.

It’s the longest longest losing streak behind a starting pitcher since they lost 10 straight behind from 2011 to 2013 (he missed the 2012 season due to injury).

Bibee and Carrasco are the only eight-game losing streaks of the Jacobs Field era.

Prior to Carrasco, you have to go back to August and September of 1991 when the Tribe lost eight straight behind and in streaks that almost perfectly overlapped.

There have only been 31 losing streaks of at least eight games behind a starting pitcher, the longest coming behind between 1989 and 1991 (he was injured for most of the 1990 season).

In the third game of the season, Aaron Civale and the Guardians shut out the Mariners 2-0, avenging the 3-0 loss on Opening Day.

It’s just the sixth time in franchise history they have been shut out and pitched a shutout within the first three games of the season.

The others:

  • 2015 vs Astros
  • 1992 vs Orioles
  • 1962 vs Red Sox
  • 1946 vs White Sox
  • 1943 vs Tigers

In 1992, the opening series at Camden Series, all three games were shutouts. Rick Sutcliffe shut out the Tribe on Opening Day, Dave Otto and Rod Nichols combined on a shutout of the O’s and Ben McDonald wrapped up the series with another shutout.
