Boston Red Sox Extend Season-High Win Streak to Seven Games

The Boston Red Sox have surged to a season-high seven-game winning streak after a 4-3 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, fueled by a pivotal two-run double from Ceddanne Rafaela during a three-run seventh inning. Boston's offense has been among the league's best, supported by strong individual performances despite some pitching inconsistencies; starter Walker Buehler gave up three runs including two homers, but relievers Chris Murphy, Garrett Whitlock, and closer Aroldis Chapman secured the win. The Red Sox have rallied multiple times this season, demonstrating resilience as noted by center fielder Rafaela, and manager Alex Cora highlighted the team's depth with key players like Hunter Dobbins and Alex Bregman expected to return soon. Tampa Bay, struggling with close games, has lost five of their last eight contests, with Rookie Chandler Simpson extending his hitting streak to 14 games, a Rays record. With their offense thriving and key pitchers like Garrett Crochet performing well, Boston looks poised to continue their dominant second-half run in the competitive AL East. The Red Sox aim to extend their streak further as they face the Rays again, with the potential to become a formidable playoff contender.
