BOSTON (AP) 鈥� The Baltimore Orioles ended Boston鈥檚 franchise record-tying 15-game winning streak behind Kyle Bradish鈥檚 six innings of one-run ball, defeating the Red Sox 5-1 in the nightcap of a doubleheader on Wednesday.
It was Boston鈥檚 first loss since at Fenway Park on July 1.
The Red Sox to match the club’s 80-year-old record. Boston’s 1946 team that won 15 straight was led by Ted Williams and won the American League pennant.
This year’s Red Sox streak was the longest in the majors since St. Louis also won 15 straight in September of 2021.
Dylan Beavers had a two-run single in a four-run first inning for Baltimore, which avoided a three-game sweep and won for the 11th time in 16 games.
Masataka Yoshida had an RBI single for Boston.
The Orioles had a season-high halted in the series opener on Monday before a rainout Tuesday.
Making his first start after for 2027-31 on Saturday, the 29-year-old Bradish (7-9) gave up four hits with four strikeouts and a walk.
Three Orioles relievers combined to allow one hit.
After the Red Sox took a 4-0 lead in the day game, Baltimore knocked out Eduardo Rivera (0-1), who retired only two batters, with its four runs.
The first run came in on Rivera’s wild pitch. After Beavers made it 3-0 with his single, he scored on Johnathan Rodriguez鈥檚 double off the Green Monster.
