Boston Red Sox seek to tie franchise record

In sports news now the Boston Red Sox have won 14 games in a row and they're looking to tie a franchise record tonight. 22 News reporter Nick Antonakis joins us live in studio now with how the team can make history. Yeah Julia the Red Sox are red hot and they're on a hunt for their 15th straight win tonight. Boston snapped the Baltimore Orioles seven-game win streak last night beating them six to five and extending their own win streak to 14. Now the Red Sox are in position to make history. Another win tonight and the Red Sox tie their franchise record for the longest winning streak in team history. To find the last time the Red Sox did something like that you'd have to turn the clock back 80 years to the Red Sox 1946 squad led by Ted Williams that won 15 straight games. There's a lot of strong opinions from fans. The deciding factor in those takes is what team they're a fan of. In the beginning of the season everyone was like oh boy you know this is not gonna be good but with the last 14 games they have turned it around. I'm not sure where they got the inspiration from but they definitely picked up in getting their game where it should be. They're still barely above 500 I'm a Yankees fan so we'll see how it goes in October but I'll see not overreacting it's only 14. Before June 24th Boston went 32 and 46 that's 14 games below 500. Since then they've made a complete 180 putting up a 19 and 2 record. Now again with a win tonight Boston can tie their winning streak record. First pitch for that game against the Orioles is at 7 10 p.m. Working for you Nick Antonakis 22 News.
