BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The Boston Red Sox won their 15th straight game to match a club record for the longest winning streak in team history from 80 years ago, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 in the opener of a split doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
They equaled the 1946 American League champs, who were led by future Hall of Famer Ted Williams.<\/p>\n
Jarren Duran had a two-run triple and a sacrifice fly, and Caleb Durbin \u2014 who hit a tiebreaking homer when they posted their 14th straight victory on Monday \u2014 chipped in with a two-run single.<\/p>\n
Ceddanne Rafaela added a solo home run for Boston in a makeup from Tuesday\u2019s rainout.<\/p>\n
Christian Encarnacion-Strand had a solo homer for Baltimore, his second in two games.<\/p>\n
Red Sox rookie left-hander Jake Bennnett (6-3) worked 5 2\/3 innings, giving up three runs \u2014 one coming on a sun-aided RBI double by Tyler O\u2019Neill \u2014 on nine hits.<\/p>\n
He took a 102.8 mph liner off the stomach from Taylor Ward in the fifth, but remained in the game after being checked by a trainer, interim manager Chad Tracy and first baseman Willson Contreras, who appeared to make him breath while telling him to lift his arms.<\/p>\n
Aroldis Chapman got the final three outs for his 23rd save and 390th of his career, tying Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley for ninth all-time.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Dean Kremer (1-3) in the first on Durbin\u2019s line single and Duran\u2019s two-out hit.<\/p>\n
Encarnacion-Strand hit his homer into the batter\u2019s eye to make it 5-2 in the fourth but Rafaela hit his over the Green Monster in the bottom half.<\/p>\n
Kremer lasted six innings, allowing six runs.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUp next<\/p>\n
Orioles: RHP Kyle Bradish (6-9, 3.61 ERA) is set to start the nightcap.<\/p>\n
Red Sox: LHP Eduardo Rivera (0-0, 2.89 ) will start the second game.<\/p>\n
