- Red Sox won their 15th straight game, matching a club record for the longest winning streak in team history that was set 80 years ago (1946)
- The streak-tying win came via a 6-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the opener of a Wednesday doubleheader
Why it matters: The Red Sox have matched a franchise benchmark untouched since 1946, so a win in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader would set an all-time new club record for consecutive victories.
