The Boston Red Sox have lost three games since July 3. Three.
The club posted its 27th win its last 30 games on Friday, blowing out the Athletics 13-1 to improve their record to 64-51. They were once 37-48, and now they're tied with the New York Yankees for second place in the AL East and the AL's top wild-card spot.
It's an unfathomable run of success given how the team was previously performing, having fired manager Alex Cora in April and faced similar calls to dump chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. They are the fifth team since integration to win 27 of 30, joining the 1947 Yankees, 1953 Yankees, 1977 Kansas City Royals and 2017 Cleveland Indians.
This span also includes a club record 15-game winning streak from last month. They are now on a different streak of eight straight wins.
Friday's win saw rookie starting pitcher Payton Tolle make history with 14 strikeouts across six innings of work with 2 hits and 1 run allowed.
