Red Sox Post 21-5 July With 14-Game Streak, Echoing 2004 Surge

Summary
A 14-game winning streak pushed Boston to a 21-5 July, turning a team that had looked out of contention into a live playoff challenger.
Chad Tracy has overseen a 41-31 record since taking over after Alex Cora, erasing a seven-game hole with a stretch that also included a nine-game road winning streak.
Boston’s run came against the Yankees, White Sox, Mets and Angels, and left the club 6.0 games behind in the AL East even if the division still appears a long shot.
The surge has drawn comparisons to the 2004 Red Sox, whose 21-7 August cut New York’s lead from 9.5 games to 3.5 before that team’s championship run.
