Red Sox match longest losing streak of season with five straight losses

The Boston Red Sox have tied their longest losing streak of the season at five games after another defeat on Wednesday. This slump follows their strong performance in July, where they had a remarkable 32-5 record. During the current stretch, Boston's offense has struggled, averaging just 2.8 runs per game, with four losses by one or two runs. Despite this downturn, the Red Sox remain in playoff contention, holding onto the second wild card spot in the American League. They will aim to end the streak in the series finale against Toronto before facing Pittsburgh.
