I don't think the statistic is kept for earned-run-less streaks.
The record scoreless streak (i.e. no runs of any kind) is 58 2/3
by Don Drysdale. Unfortunately, Mookie Wilson dropped a fly ball
in the first inning of that game with Pittsburgh, allowing an
unearned run to score. This is the only run Gooden has allowed
in the streak (now at 48 innings, after today's victory over the
Cubs).
