Red Sox Post 27-3 Run in 30 Games After 37-48 Start

Summary
Boston’s latest win made it 27 victories in 30 games, putting the Red Sox among just 10 MLB teams since 1900 to reach a 27-3 span.
That surge is more remarkable because it began July 3 with Boston at 37-48; Elias says no previous MLB team won at least 27 of 30 after starting the stretch 10 or more games under .500.
A 15-game winning streak tied the franchise record from 1946, and even after it ended the Red Sox still lost only three times in the 30-game burst.
The turnaround also erased a 14-games-under mark from June 25, making Boston the fastest team in MLB history to climb from minus-14 to plus-13 at 44 days.
The run has driven nine straight series wins and a 21-4 July, the best calendar-month winning percentage in franchise history at .840.
