Red Sox need 1 more win to match franchise record

July 21, 2026 - 13:20

The Boston Red Sox are on the verge of making history. Their current 14-game winning streak has brought them to the doorstep of a franchise milestone. One more victory would tie the longest winning streak in team history, a mark set by the 1946 squad that featured the legendary Ted Williams.

That 1946 team won 15 consecutive games on its way to an American League pennant. The current Red Sox roster has matched that level of dominance over the past two and a half weeks, playing clean baseball in all phases. Pitching has been sharp, the bullpen has held leads, and the lineup has produced timely hits night after night.

Manager Alex Cora has kept the focus on the next game rather than the streak itself. The players have echoed that sentiment, saying they are not thinking about the record. They just want to keep winning.

The next chance to tie the mark comes at home. A win would put the 2025 Red Sox alongside the 1946 team in the record books. The crowd is expected to be loud, and the pressure will be real. But this team has shown it can handle the heat. One more win, and they will have done something no Red Sox team has done in nearly 80 years.
