The Red Sox have won 13 in a row, tied with a streak in 1948 for the second-longest in franchise history The only LONGER win streak in franchise history: 1946: 15

Where were you when the Sox won 13 straight?

Last time the Red Sox won 13 games in a row Carl Yastrzemski was 8 years old.

THIRTEEN. IN. A. ROW

9TH STRAIGHT QUALITY START FOR SONNY GRAY, RBI DOUBLE FOR MONASTERIO, 2-RUN BOMB FOR WC40, THE BOSTON RED SOX HAVE WON 13 STRAIGHT GAMES, 18 OF 20 AND HAVE SWEPT THE 1ST PLACE RAYS!! #GOLDBOTTLES

Incredible

Once again, Sonny Gray delivers. Even more impressive considering he was battling early. 6 IP - 91 Pitches/49 Strikes 5 Hits 1 ER/R 5 K 4 BB 1 HR (Inside the park) Should’ve been a shutout with some help from the defense. Not bad for your most walks in a start all season.

There is no better environment to play baseball in than Fenway Park when the Red Sox are good. I stand by that one billion percent.

WHO ELSE BUT WILLSON CONTRERAS!!! THE MAN WANTS ANOTHER SWEEP!

I’m gonna keep saying it. I can’t believe what I’m watching right now. From where the Red Sox were to what’s happening now. They just scored 2 runs to take the lead on a catcher dropping the ball and a throw hitting a runner in the back. That’s not analytics; that’s demon magic.

Fenway Park is the best atmosphere in baseball when the Sox are good

Victor Mesa Jr. just came around and scored on an inside the park home run. Couple of bobbles from Ceddanne Rafaela and Connor Wong not being able to pick the ball on a weird hop.

@FenwayAttendee My source is saying the same 👀

I’m hearing “Sox”, per source. Working to confirm

Craig Breslow also spoke on handling the trade deadline with so many players working their way back from injury, via @ChrisCotillo: “The next 10 days or so are going to be really critical in informing that, understanding where guys like Ranger (Suarez) and (Connelly) Early are in the short term, understanding where Roman (Anthony) is, and Garrett (Crochet) is, and Trevor (Story), because that’s going to help dictate not just what we do, but where we focus. So, still a lot of information to factor.”

Craig Breslow makes it clear that the Red Sox will be spending time looking for offensive upgrades at the trade deadline, via @ChrisCotillo: “I don’t think I would look at this team and come to drastically different conclusions than anyone else who’s watching us… We’ve gotten consistently good starting pitching, good relief pitching. At times we’ve struggled to score runs. So, I think that’s a place where we’ll spend time. But until we know what teams are looking to do, and until we know what’s available, it’s really difficult to say like, ‘Hey, this is what we’re going to do.’”

Craig Breslow on the Red Sox outlook with 2 weeks until the trade deadline, via @ChrisCotillo: “For a while, we had talked about feeling like our best baseball was in front of us, and believing in the players and in the group that we have in the clubhouse… I don’t think a 12-game streak should determine exactly what we do. But we’ve absolutely taken notice. We’ve put ourselves in a good position, and that’s going to be very influential in how we approach the deadline.”

Roman Anthony still isn’t swinging down in Fort Myers, per @alexspeier. Chad Tracy says the plan is for him to start swinging once he’s pain-free. Much different than how they originally approached the injury, where pain tolerance was a big factor.
