A Surge That Could Define the Season
The Boston Red Sox have rattled off 13 straight victories, a run that has turned heads across the American League and revived hopes of a postseason berth.
Central to the surge have been utility infielder Caleb Durbin, who delivered a timely RBI in the latest win, and veteran right-hander Sonny Gray, who turned in six strong innings, scattering five hits while striking out five.
The Red Sox capped the streak with a 6-1 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays, a performance that not only solidified their momentum but also trimmed the gap to the division leaders.
Despite sitting six games behind the Rays in the AL East, Boston now holds the final American League wild-card slot, a position that could reshape the club’s trajectory as the season progresses.
The team will continue its homestand with a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, a matchup that could further cement their place in the playoff picture.
