Boston Red Sox extend eight‑game streak with walk‑off win over Chicago White Sox
The Boston Red Sox have continued their historic surge, posting a 30‑5 record over the last 35 games and extending their winning streak to eight straight contests. The stretch includes a sweep of the Chicago White Sox, giving Boston a 5‑0 record against the White Sox this season and a sweep of the series.
Key moments in the recent games include a 12‑11 walk‑off victory in the 13th inning on August 7, when Caleb Durbin delivered the decisive single. Earlier, Boston routed Chicago 14‑2, highlighted by Durbin’s grand slam and Wilyer Abreu’s two home runs, while starter Sonny Gray earned his 14th win with six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and two walks. Abreu also recorded his 20th homer of the season, his second in that game. In the same series, newly‑acquired catcher Joey Bart suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Manager Chad Tracy praised the team’s consistency and depth, noting the Red Sox have now won ten consecutive series and remain a top contender in the American League East.
