The Boston Red Sox matched a franchise milestone on Wednesday, defeating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 to secure their 15th consecutive victory. The streak ties the club record set in 1946, 80 years ago. The Red Sox had an opportunity to break the record later that day in the second game of a doubleheader against the same opponent. During this winning stretch, the team has made significant gains in the wild-card race, climbing more than eight games in the standings. The Red Sox have been dominant, combining strong pitching and timely hitting to extend their run. The team will look to set a new franchise record if they can win the next game.
