Red Sox: 27 wins in their last 30 games

Between 1900 and 2025, only nine Major League Baseball teams had managed to win 27 games in a 30-game stretch.

But now we can add a tenth.

The Boston Red Sox, who won their ninth straight game yesterday, are simply unbeatable right now.

Yesterday, against Sacramento, they won 13-1. Payton Tolle had an incredible start, striking out no fewer than 14 batters in a quality start.

We're talking about two teams heading in different directions here. The Red Sox have been on a winning streak for the past month and a half… but not the A's.

Since June 21, the California club has a 7-32 record. It's a total collapse after a decent start to the season.

But it's not as if the good news is going to stop there in Boston, since the team is about to be able to count on its big trade-deadline acquisition.

Adley Rutschman is set to play in Triple-A today. He's therefore nearing a return to action—and thus his debut with the Boston Red Sox.

It's also worth noting that Roman Anthony is now at the stage where he can hit balls thrown by a pitching machine.

This is another step in the right direction.

As of Saturday morning, the Red Sox are seven games ahead of the Twins, the top American League team currently out of playoff contention. They are half a game behind the Yankees.

They're also five games behind the Rays, who lead the American League. The top three teams in the American League are all in the East…

• A strong outing by the Blue Jays' prospect, recently acquired from the Rangers, against Adam Macko.

• Blue Jays win. Brett Bateman, acquired from the Cubs in exchange for Kevin Gausman, recorded his first Major League hit against the Phillies.

• Matt Chapman: His season is likely over.

• Hunter Greene to undergo elbow surgery.
