Ha Ji-won Throws First Pitch as Red Sox Tie Club Record with 15th Straight Win

The Boston Red Sox secured their 15th consecutive victory on Tuesday, July 22, 2026, matching a club record for the longest winning streak in franchise history. The remarkable achievement occurred during a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, with Boston winning the first game 6-3.

This 15-game winning streak ties the legendary 1946 Red Sox team's record. Achieving such a streak is a rare feat in Major League Baseball, especially in the modern era. Since MLB's expansion, only eight teams have managed a 15-game winning streak within a single season. The most recent occurrence was the St. Louis Cardinals in 2021 with 17 wins, while the longest streak belongs to the Cleveland Guardians, who recorded 22 consecutive wins in 2017.

Adding a unique cultural element to the game, South Korean actress Ha Ji-won threw the ceremonial first pitch, becoming the first Korean actress to do so on the mound at MLB's historic Fenway Park. Her presence seemed to bring good luck, as the Red Sox continued their impressive run.

With this latest win, the Red Sox are now positioned to break their own franchise record and continue their ascent in the league standings. The team's performance has generated significant excitement among fans as they approach a potential historic milestone.
