Caleb Durbin hit a tiebreaking homer over the Green Monster with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Boston Red Sox extended the second-longest winning streak in club history to 14 games, beating Baltimore 6-5 on Monday night to end the Orioles' season-best win streak at seven. The Red Sox can match a club record with a win Tuesday night. Boston won 15 straight in 1946 on a team led by future Hall of Famer Ted Williams.

The Red Sox are the first team to win 14 straight since the Milwaukee Brewers in August 2025. They are 19-2 in their past 21 games, the best mark in MLB since June 25. Through June 24, Boston was 32-46, the worst record in the American League and second worst in the majors. Christian Encarnacion-Strand, recalled from Triple-A four days ago, homered and hit a run-scoring single for the Orioles, who committed four errors and gave up two unearned runs.

Durbin connected on a 1-0 cutter from Tyler Wells (2-2), setting off a celebration. Garrett Whitlock (5-1) worked a perfect eighth, and Aroldis Chapman picked up his 22nd save, his 389th career save, the 10th most since the stat became official in 1969; he moved to within one of Dennis Eckersley (390). Kyle Bradish (6-8, 3.61 ERA) starts for the Orioles Tuesday, and the Red Sox will bring left-hander Ranger Suárez (4-3, 3.15) off the injured list.
