MLB: Cheng Tsung-cheh's single helps Red Sox to 11th straight win, surpasses Chen Chin-feng

Taiwanese infielder Cheng Tsung-cheh continued his hot streak, delivering a crucial RBI single in the Boston Red Sox's 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on July 18. This victory extended the Red Sox's impressive winning streak to 11 games, their longest since 2016. Cheng played shortstop and batted ninth in the second game of the doubleheader. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, maintaining a batting average of .303. His single in the second inning was a key moment in the game. Earlier in the doubleheader, Cheng also recorded a hit. In a separate historical note, Cheng's fourth career walk in the game officially moved him past fellow Taiwanese baseball star Chen Chin-feng, placing him fifth all-time for Taiwanese players in Major League Baseball history in that category. The Red Sox, now with a .500 record for the first time since March, are currently third in the AL wild card race.
