Red Sox Tie Franchise Win Streak With 15th Win, Then Split Doubleheader With Orioles

The Boston Red Sox tied the franchise record with a 15-game winning streak by taking the first game of a doubleheader 6-3 against the Orioles, but they could not complete the sweep, losing the second game and seeing the streak snap. The rally has helped Boston rise to 52-49 overall, sit in third place in the AL East and in wild-card position, with FanGraphs giving about a 63.4% playoff odds. Key contributors in the win included Jarren Duran and Caleb Durbin, while Jake Bennett earned the win and Aroldis Chapman closed out the save; the team's turnaround comes after a 10-17 start that led to manager Alex Cora's departure earlier in the season.
