Indians rip A's for Donaldson trade in Twitter war
After the Cleveland Indians' franchise-best 14-game winning streak ended Saturday - thanks to a 9-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays - it didn't take long for the Oakland Athletics to find something to say about it.
"Cute winning streak, @Indians."

Oakland was referring to its record 20-game winning streak from 2002, accomplished thanks in part to a pinch-hit solo homer from Scott Hatteberg that helped clinch the 20th win.
The Indians had quite a response for the Athletics after that insult, knocking Oakland for trading away American League MVP Josh Donaldson - who singled home the game-winning run against the Indians - to the Blue Jays in 2014.
.@Athletics yeah, Josh Donaldson is playing really well these days 🐸☕️
