Chasing an 80-year club record, nobody on the red-hot Red Sox was annoyed by having to wait a day to continue that pursuit. A rainy Tuesday night postponement gave way to a warm and mostly sunny Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader, and the good vibes were back at Fenway Park. The Red Sox were not to be denied, rolling to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles on Wednesday that stretched their winning streak to 15 games, tying the loaded 1946 squad for the longest in club history. “You keep stacking one win over another, and then you get close, and once you get within three or four, they start to feel like playoff games because you want to get there,” said Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin. “But yeah, then you look back at it, and think about where you're doing it and how long this franchise has existed. It's pretty incredible.” “Records like this are meant to be broken,” left fielder Jarren Duran added. “Hopefully we break it, and I hope a team after us breaks it.” Unfortunately, interim manager Chad Tracy and the Red Sox fell short of setting a new franchise record, taking a 5-1 loss in Game 2 to split the doubleheader.
