Sacramento River Cats' Eight-Game Winning Streak Ends

ROUND ROCK, Tex. – The Sacramento River Cats' season-best eight-game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, following a narrow 1-0 loss to the Round Rock Express. The Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants had been pushing for a ninth consecutive victory, a goal highlighted by the team's official social media. As the Sacramento River Cats announced in a tweet: > "the starting nine as we go for our NINTH STRAIGHT WIN."

The decisive game saw the River Cats' offense struggle, managing only five hits against the Express pitching. Sacramento starter Seth Lonsway (1-1) was charged with his first Triple-A loss, allowing just one run in the fourth inning on an RBI single, despite scattering nine hits. The lone run proved to be enough for Round Rock to secure the victory.

The impressive eight-game run marked the River Cats' longest winning streak of the season, a significant achievement for the Pacific Coast League team. Their eighth consecutive win was secured on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, with a 3-1 victory over the very same Round Rock Express at Dell Diamond. That win had propelled them to a 25-15 record for the second half of the season and a 61-54 overall standing.

This streak was the longest for the River Cats since their franchise-record 13-game winning streak in 2015. The team, based in West Sacramento, California, plays its home games at Sutter Health Park and is a key developmental pipeline for the San Francisco Giants. The River Cats will now look to rebound and start a new winning streak as they continue their series against the Round Rock Express.
