A Historic Turnaround

Boston left Colorado with a 32-46 record on June 24, sitting in last place in the American League East. The Red Sox then won 20 of their next 22 games to move back into contention.

MLB noted the streak was the eighth winning streak of at least 15 games during the Expansion Era, which began in 1961. The most recent came in 2021, when the Cardinals won 17 consecutive games. Other teams to reach at least 15 straight wins include the 2017 Cleveland club at 22 games, the 2002 Athletics at 20 games, and the 1977 Royals at 16 games.

How Boston Won Game 1

The Red Sox scored four runs in the first inning on a two-run single from Caleb Durbin and a two-run triple from Jarren Duran. Duran added a sacrifice fly in the third inning, and Ceddanne Rafaela hit his ninth home run of the season over the Green Monster in the fourth.

Rookie left-handed pitcher Jake Bennett earned the win, allowing three runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings without a walk and with four strikeouts. Closer Aroldis Chapman finished the game for Boston. The winning streak also increased attention around Boston Red Sox odds as the team moved higher in the American League standings.

What Happened Next

Boston finished the doubleheader with a split after Baltimore won the nightcap 5-1, ending the Red Sox's winning streak at 15 games. Kyle Bradish held Boston to one run over six innings, and Dylan Beavers drove in two runs during a four-run first inning for the Orioles.

It was Boston's first loss since a 10-2 defeat to Washington on July 1. Even with the streak ending, interim manager Chad Tracy's club matched the 1946 team's franchise record. Fans using MA betting apps are tracking Boston's season progress after the historic winning streak.
