Orioles 5, Red Sox 1: Bradish Ends Boston's 15-Game Winning Streak

Fifteen straight, then silence at Fenway

July 22, 2026 – Boston – The Red Sox woke up with a franchise-tying streak and a makeup doubleheader. They left with a split and a stopped clock.

Kyle Bradish (7-9) worked six, allowed one earned, and struck out four. Baltimore stacked nine hits. And the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 in Game 2, snapping a 15-game winning streak that had rewritten Boston's deadline identity, per CBS Sports and Associated Press coverage.

Game 1: Boston 6-3, Jake Bennett, Chapman, streak to 15. Game 2: Bradish, and the music stopped one short of a new franchise record.

From historic heater to one ordinary night

Boston had flipped from likely seller talk to likely buyer talk on the back of the streak. That buyer lean does not vanish because of one loss. It does lose the undefeated aura. Baltimore, fresh off a Bradish extension headline week, reminded the AL East that Fenway is still a two-way street.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand's loud Game 1 bat for Baltimore and Bradish's Game 2 length were the twin AthX Engine stories of the twinbill.
