Caleb Durbin's solo home run in the eighth inning proved to be the difference as the Boston Red Sox edged the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Monday, stretching their win streak to 14 games. This marks the longest win streak in Major League Baseball this season and leaves the Red Sox just one victory shy of matching their club record of 15 set in 1946.

With two outs in the eighth, Durbin blasted a pitch from Orioles reliever Tyler Wells into the seats atop Fenway Park's iconic "Green Monster" left-field wall. It was Durbin's 10th homer of the season, a crucial blow in a tightly contested game.

Boston's closing relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman faced a tense ninth inning. The 38-year-old Cuban left-hander walked Colton Cowser and allowed a two-out double to Gunnar Henderson, putting two Orioles runners in scoring position. However, Baltimore's Tyler O'Neill's line drive was caught by Taiwanese shortstop Cheng Tsung-che for the final out, securing the Red Sox's triumph.

The visiting Orioles were undone by four errors, their most in a game since 2023. This loss snapped their seven-game win streak.

With this win, the Red Sox improved to 51-48, clinging to the final American League wildcard playoff spot with two months remaining in the season. The Orioles fell to 49-52, three games back. Boston can set a new club record by sweeping the three-game series with Baltimore.
