The Boston Red Sox extend their winning streak to 14 games with a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night, ending Baltimore’s season-best seven-game win streak. Multiple reports say the deciding moment comes in the eighth inning when Caleb Durbin hits a tiebreaking home run over the Green Monster with two outs. Boston takes the lead late and holds on for the one-run win.
The win also places Boston near a franchise milestone. Yahoo Sports notes that this 14-game run is the second-longest winning streak in Red Sox history, and it is one game away from matching the franchise record of 15 straight wins set by the 1946 team led by Ted Williams. According to the same reports, the Red Sox have the opportunity to tie that record on Tuesday night.
Overall, the game’s outcome and the context of both teams’ streaks—Boston’s ongoing run and Baltimore’s recently ended seven-game stretch—are consistent across the sources.
