Orioles end Red Sox's record-tying 15-game winning streak
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Baltimore Orioles ended the Boston Red Sox's 15-game winning streak by defeating them 5-1 in the second game of a doubleheader, with Kyle Bradish pitching six innings allowing just one run.
- Boston's streak tied the franchise record set in 1946, marking the longest winning streak in MLB since the St. Louis Cardinals' 15-game streak in 2021.
- The Red Sox had not lost since July 1, improving from a poor start to the season under interim manager Chad Tracy, who became the first manager since the 19th century to lead a team to a 15+ game win streak without starting the season in the role.
- Baltimore's early offensive surge included a four-run first inning against Eduardo Rivera, helping the Orioles avoid a three-game sweep and secure their 11th win in 16 games.
- Bradish, recently signed to a five-year, $90 million contract, delivered a strong start, while the Orioles bullpen limited Boston to one hit over the final innings.
