The Boston Red Sox have tied the franchise record of 15 straight victories by beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3. The win streak has pushed the Red Sox back above .500 and into playoff contention.
The Red Sox jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning off a Caleb Durbin single and Jarren Duran triple. The teams each notched a run in the third off fly balls, then traded solo home runs in the fourth.
The Orioles managed a third run in the sixth but that’s where their comeback fizzled. Red Sox starting pitcher Jake Bennett managed a 2.58 ERA through 5.2 innings pitched. Closer Aroldis Chapman allowed one hit in the ninth inning, as thunderclouds loomed in the distance over Fenway Park.
