波士顿红袜队在主场以6-3击败巴尔的摩金莺队,赢得第15场连胜,追平球队80年前1946年创造的最长连胜纪录[1][2]。
这一壮举在周三下午的双重赛首场比赛中完成[1]。红袜队的表现尤为引人瞩目——球队在7月1日时战绩仅为37-48,排名美联东区垫底,之后便开启了不败之旅[2]。临时主教练查德·特雷西成为美职棒历史上第一位在赛季中途上任而率队创造15连胜纪录的主教练[2]。
比赛中,杜兰贡献了两分三垒打和一次牺牲飞球[1],德比打出两分安打[1],拉法埃拉也有一记本垒打[1]。先发投手贝内特投了5⅔局,战绩改善为6-3,失3分,被9次安打[1]。救援投手查普曼得到本场救援胜利,这是他本赛季第23场救援成功,职业生涯第390场救援,追平历史并列第九[1]。
1946年创造这一纪录的红袜队阵容中包括名人堂球员泰德·威廉斯[1]。
The Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 to secure their 15th consecutive win, tying the longest winning streak in franchise history [1][2]. The streak matches the club record set 80 years ago in 1946 [1][2].
Duran powered the Red Sox offense with a two-run triple and a sacrifice fly, while Derby contributed a two-run hit [1]. Refael also homered for Boston [1]. The victory came during the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon [1].
Starting pitcher Bennet recorded the win with a 6-3 record after pitching 5⅔ innings and allowing three runs on nine hits [1]. Chapman earned his 23rd save of the season, which represents his 390th career save, tying him for ninth all-time [1].
The remarkable turnaround has been led by interim manager Chad Tracy [2]. On July 1st, the Red Sox held a 37-48 record and ranked last in the American League East [2]. Tracy became the first manager in MLB history to take over mid-season and lead a team to a 15-game winning streak [2].
