The Boston Red Sox are on a remarkable run, winning 11 of their last 12 games and going 32-5 since June 25. This stretch represents the best 37-game performance in franchise history, including a franchise-record 15-game winning streak in July. Comparisons are drawn to the 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers, who also had a similar record during the regular season but did not secure a World Series title that year. The Red Sox's recent success underscores the need for continued effort as the season progresses.
