ShareThisConsecutive times shut out
John Smoltz made waves recently by calling out Chipper Jones for not playing with an injury. As the linked AP article points out, it came on the heels of the Braves being shut out for the third straight game, which last happened to them in 1988.
Well that's a PI Team Streak Finder search crying out for attention, isn't it?
Turns out that since 1988, one team has a longer streak:

Wow, those Cubs sure have set a lot of bad records, haven 't they?
But the Braves are the only team since 1988 to have been shut out 3 times in a row twice, once in 1988 and once in 2007. But they had a few good years in between.
