The 2026 Boston Red Sox won their 10th game in a row on Friday afternoon in game one of a doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It's one of the longest winning streaks in franchise history, but a handful of teams in the organization's history have gone longer.
Baseball is a game of failure, and even the best teams lose a bunch of games each season.
This season's Red Sox were 11 games under .500 when the streak started, making it even more improbable.
But as it goes along, it's worth checking out the other longest streaks in franchise history.
Note that the list below intentionally does not include this season's streak yet.

What's the longest win streak in Red Sox history?
The longest winning streak the Red Sox have ever had was a 15-game win streak that took place during the 1946 season, stretching from late April into early May.
Those 1946 Red Sox started it with a sweep on the road in Philadelphia against the Athletics.
They then swept the defending champion Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park, including a 10th-inning walk-off home run from Ted Williams.
They took two from the Cleveland Indians, then a doubleheader from the St. Louis Browns, including a Dom DiMaggio walk-off single.
One more win over the Browns saw a comeback from down 6-2 to win in the bottom of the 14th inning on a Leon Culberson grand slam.
They beat the Chicago White Sox two games in a row after that.
Their 15th game of the streak was over the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium.
