Sox ride 14-game surge, leaning on newcomers and leadership to chase franchise mark

The Red Sox extended their win streak to 14 games with a 6-5 victory over the Orioles, aided by Willson Contreras’ three hits and two RBIs and Caleb Durbin’s decisive eighth-inning homer. They’ve won 19 of 21 and sit 51-48, one win short of tying the 1946 franchise record. A mix of veterans and newcomers is fueling the run: Jake Bennett is 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in the streak; closer Aroldis Chapman has eight saves during this surge; Tsung-Che Cheng, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler have produced key hits; Masataka Yoshida is thriving (.357 with seven extra-base hits since June 25); and interim manager Chad Tracy’s leadership has helped the club jell after travel setbacks and a late-spring stumble.
