In the ninth inning, Boston scored two runs against Taylor Rashi (0-1), and then Sogard hit a double off Andrew Saalfrank. Carlos Narváez hit a single that scored a run.Chapman equaled the record for most strikeouts in an inning when Ildemaro Vargas reached on a wild pitch. The 37-year-old closer secured his 29th save in 31 attempts. Chapman's hitless stretch, which started on July 26 and lasted 14 2/3 innings, is the third-longest since 1901.
Cora has the third-most victories as a Boston manager, behind Joe Cronin (1,071) and Terry Francona (744).
Garrett Whitlock (6-3) got out of a jam in the eighth and pitched 1 2/3 shutout innings.
Boston stayed 1 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the top AL wild card and got 3 1/2 games closer to Toronto, which leads the AL East.
After six innings, Arizona was ahead 3-1, but they fell down 3-2 in the seventh inning, which was strange because Jordan Lawler, the third baseman, had a two-run throwing error and a pickoff that led to a stolen base.
Boston is home to the Boston Red Sox, a professional baseball team in the United States. The American League (AL) East Division is where the Red Sox play Major League Baseball (MLB). The team was one of the eight original franchises in the American League when it was founded in 1901. Fenway Park has been the team's home field since 1912. The moniker "Red Sox" was given to the team by its owner, John I. Taylor, about 1908. This was in line with other teams that had been called the "Boston Red Stockings," such as the Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves). The franchise has participated in thirteen World Series and won nine of them, which is tied for the third-most in MLB history. In 2018, they last played in and won the World Series. They also won the American League pennant in 1904, but they couldn't defend their World Series title from 1903 because the New York Giants didn't want to play in the 1904 World Series.
The Red Sox were the best club in the new league. They beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in the inaugural World Series in 1903 and won four more championships by 1918. But then they went through one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history, known as the "Curse of the Bambino." This was said to have started when the Red Sox sold top player Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, their biggest rivals, two years after they won the World Series in 1918. It took the Sox 86 years to win their sixth World Series title in 2004. The team's history at that time was marked by some of the most famous moments in World Series history, such as Enos Slaughter's "mad dash" in 1946, the "Impossible Dream" in 1967, Carlton Fisk's home run in 1975, and Bill Buckner's mistake in 1986. They were the first team to win four World Series trophies in the 21st century after winning the 2018 World Series. They have won the World Series in 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018. The team's history has also been distinguished by its great rivalry with the New York Yankees, which is probably the fiercest and most historic in all of North American professional sports.
Fenway Sports Group controls the Red Sox. They also hold the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League, Liverpool of the Premier League in England, and half of RFK Racing of the NASCAR Cup Series. They are always one of the best MLB teams when it comes to average road attendance, but they can't lead in overall attendance since Fenway Park is so tiny. The Red Sox sold out every home game from May 15, 2003, to April 10, 2013. This was a record for a major professional sports team, with 820 games (794 regular season). The Red Sox have made both Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" and the Standells' "Dirty Water" their official songs.
The franchise's all-time regular-season record is 9,955 wins, 9,263 losses, and 83 ties (.518) as of the completion of the 2024 season.
After the 1907 season, owner John I. Taylor picked the moniker Red Sox. The name comes from the red tights that the club wore as part of their uniforms starting in 1908. Newspapers that needed a headline-friendly way to say "Stockings Win!" in huge print had already used "Sox" for the Chicago White Sox. A "colored" club from Norfolk, Virginia used the moniker "Red Sox" as early as 1888. The Spanish-language media occasionally call the squad "Medias Rojas," which means "red socks." The official Spanish webpage uses the name "Los Red Sox."
The Cincinnati Red Stockings, who were part of the first National Association of Base Ball Players, used to be called the Red Stockings. Harry Wright was in charge of Cincinnati, which wore white knickers and crimson stockings. The squad got its iconic nickname a year or two before recruiting the first completely professional team in 1869. After the club went out of business at the end of the 1870 season, Boston industrialist Ivers Whitney Adams recruited Wright to start a new team in Boston. He brought three teammates and the "Red Stockings" moniker with him. (Most nicknames...
