Lee's streak spans his time with the Indians and first 4 starts with the Phillies, and is current.

After the Brewers got amazing output after acquiring C. C. Sabathia last year from the Indians, the Phillies seem poised to get the same production from another Cleveland castoff this year. One big difference is that Lee will still be under contract with the Phillies next season as well.
