Boston Red Sox extend winning streak to seven games with 4‑0 shutout of Chicago White Sox
The Boston Red Sox continued their late‑season surge, winning their seventh straight game by blanking the Chicago White Sox 4‑0 at Fenway Park. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray threw six scoreless innings, striking out eight and earning his 14th win, tying the American League lead for victories. Wilyer Abreu added a solo home run, his fourth in three games, while Caleb Durbin delivered a grand slam in the first inning of the earlier 14‑2 victory that opened the series. The Red Sox have now won 25 of their last 28 games and nine consecutive series, the second‑longest streak in franchise history. Recent trade‑deadline moves—bringing in catcher Adley Rutschman, reliever Erik Miller and outfielder Eli White—have bolstered the roster, complementing the hot hitting of Abreu, Durbin and Jarren Duran. The team sits near the top of the AL East, keeping pace in the playoff race as the series with Chicago continues.
