Summary
Boston crushed the Athletics 13-1 on Friday for its ninth straight victory, leaving the Red Sox one win from matching the franchise-record 15-game streak set in 1946.
The surge has been overwhelming: Boston is 27-3 over its last 30 games and 33-7 over its last 40, after once sitting 14 games under .500.
Elias says the club reached 13 games over .500 in 44 days, the fastest turnaround in MLB history from 14 under to 13 over, beating the 1914 Braves' 59 days.
That run has flipped Boston from the American League's worst team to the AL's run-differential leader at plus-89, firmly in a playoff spot and pushing toward the division lead.
Players such as Caleb Durbin and Jarren Duran have symbolized the reversal, underscoring how quickly Boston's season narrative has shifted.
