Red Sox make MLB history with trifecta of hat tricks

The Boston Red Sox set an unwanted record on June 10, 2026, by having their first three hitters strike out in their initial three at-bats. This unprecedented occurrence has never happened in Major League Baseball since 1901. Despite a late-game effort, the Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, 7-5. Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen dominated the game, throwing 7.0 innings with 13 strikeouts and allowing only two hits. This result keeps the Red Sox at the bottom of the AL East standings, reflecting a challenging season for the team.
