Red Sox win!

The Red Sox, who left Fenway Park on June 19 trailing Baltimore by three games in the AL East, returned home leading the Orioles by 2 1/2 games. The 6-0 trip extended the Sox' winning streak to seven games and completed the club's first perfect road trip of six-or-more games since July 29-Aug. 7, 1977 (9-0, with stops at California, Seattle and Oakland).

The Sox, who won for the 12th time in 13 games, had 15 hits in the road trip finale, extending their streak with 10-or-more hits to seven straight games and 12 of the last 13. They scored at least five runs for the 14th time in 15 games.
