Red Sox Set Interesting Fenway Park Record During Win Over Royals
Not a lot of things have been going right for the Boston Red Sox lately, but they have begun straightening things out.
The Sox on Monday snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. In the victory, Boston smacked a pair of home runs, a two-run shot from Sam Travis and a solo homer for Rafael Devers — who joined some elite company in the process.
And with those two homers, the Red Sox made a little history.
According to the team, that was their 18th straight home game with a dinger, which is the longest streak in venue history. Of course, Fenway has been around since 1912, so that’s by no means a small feat.
The Red Sox will have a chance to make it 19 consecutive contests with a homer Tuesday night in the middle contest of their three-game set with the Royals.
