Red Sox Near 10th Straight Series Win, Longest Streak Since 1912

Summary
Boston can secure its 10th straight series win Sunday against Oakland, a run that would mark the franchise's longest such streak since 1912.
A 27-win stretch over 30 games has powered the surge, putting the Red Sox among only 10 teams since 1900 to reach that mark.
Players and coaches have tied the turnaround less to roster changes than to a mental reset: stop pressing, accept bunts and singles, and let power follow.
The streak has also transformed the AL East race, with Boston making up 10 games on the Yankees in the past month after not winning more than three straight all season before late June.
