BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 11 – Marcelo Mayer and Ceddanne Rafaela led the Red Sox's comeback, contributing all four RBIs in a 4-3 win that extended Boston's winning streak to seven games.
- In Boston, the Red Sox overcame a 3-1 deficit in the seventh inning to win their seventh straight game, led by Mayer’s RBI double and Rafaela’s two-run double.
- Fueled by a youth movement, all four RBIs came from players 24 and under, led by Mayer after his May 24 debut while Bregman was on the injured list, sustaining the streak without their veteran third baseman.

- Despite their winning streak, FanGraphs estimates Red Sox have under 50% playoff odds amid MLB's toughest remaining schedule and possible trade deadline moves.
