The Boston Red Sox have won 14 consecutive games, a remarkable turnaround that has lifted them from the bottom of the American League into playoff contention. Just weeks ago the team appeared destined to be sellers before the trade deadline, with pitcher Sonny Gray and closer Aroldis Chapman reportedly being floated in trade proposals amid a poor start to the season.

The winning streak has taken Boston's record from 37-48 to 51-48, and they now hold the third American League Wild Card spot outright. One more victory would tie the longest winning streak in franchise history, a 15-game run set in 1946.
