Red Sox Extend Seven-Game Streak, Move Into AL Wild-Card Tie

Front-office evaluations of potential rotation upgrades follow their seven-game surge into a tie for the third AL wild-card spot

Overview

  • Boston’s seven-game winning streak, their longest since April–May 2023, has seen them outscore opponents 56–16 and propelled them into playoff contention.
  • The Red Sox hold a 50–45 record, marking their first five games over .500 this season and tying with the Mariners for the third AL wild-card position.
  • Key contributions from Garrett Crochet and season turnarounds by Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito have steadied the starting rotation.
  • Aroldis Chapman has recorded 15 saves in 16 chances and posted 9⅔ scoreless innings over his last 10 outings.
  • Boston opens a four-game series against the division-leading Rays before the All-Star break and is monitoring Twins right-hander Joe Ryan as a potential trade-deadline addition.
