Red Sox Beat the Rays 6-1 Behind Contreras and Gray for Their 13th Straight Win
Boston has climbed into playoff contention with a 12-game surge, a run matched by only two other Red Sox teams in history.
- The Boston Red Sox defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 on Sunday, July 19, 2026, securing their 13th consecutive victory behind pitcher Sonny Gray's strong performance.
- Just 25 days ago, the Red Sox trailed eight teams in the American League Wild Card race while sitting at the bottom of their division.
- Willson Contreras hit a two-run, 414-foot homer in the fifth inning, while Gray limited the Rays to one run and five hits over six innings, marking his ninth consecutive quality start.
- The 13-game winning streak ties the second-longest in franchise history, moving Boston to a 49-48 record—their first time above.500 since the season's opening game.
- Boston continues its 10-game homestand this week with a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, aiming to further shore up their position in the AL East.
