Rain Could Halt Red Sox Historic Winning Streak
22 Jul
Summary
- A 14-game winning streak by the Boston Red Sox was threatened by severe weather.
- The game was postponed due to a high chance of precipitation and thunderstorms.
- The Red Sox are chasing a franchise record of 15 consecutive wins.
The Boston Red Sox saw their pursuit of a franchise-record 15th consecutive victory put on hold due to inclement weather. Entering Tuesday, the team had already achieved a 14-game winning streak following a dramatic Monday night victory. However, a forecast predicting a high probability of thunderstorms and heavy rain led to the game's postponement.
The scheduled game against the Baltimore Orioles was officially called off around 5:35 p.m. ET on Tuesday. It has been rescheduled as a day-night doubleheader for Wednesday, with games set for 1:30 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. ET.
This postponement interrupts a remarkable surge for the Red Sox, who had been in last place in late June but have since gone 18-2. Their recent success is largely attributed to strong pitching from both the rotation and the bullpen.
