Caleb Durbin sealed the deal with a walk-off single in the 13th inning. Initial success for the Red Sox came in the form of 26 consecutive wins, a remarkable achievement in their previous 29 games. The dramatic game began with the White Sox taking an early lead in the third inning, fueled by a 2-run homer by Chase Meidroth. However, the Red Sox managed to tie the score in the 12th inning, thanks to a sacrifice fly by Jake Rogers. The White Sox took a 4-0 lead in the third inning, followed by a 5-2 advantage in the fourth. Boston managed to tie the game on consecutive singles by Durbin and Masataka Yoshida before Chicago extended its lead to 7-5 in the fifth inning. The Red Sox cut the lead to one run in the sixth inning with an RBI single by Yoshida, and Abreu drove in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth. Chicago took the lead in the 10th inning, holding on for a 7-5 victory. The Red Sox staged a stunning comeback, tying the score once more in the 11th inning. Caleb Durbin's remarkable single in the 13th inning proved to be the game-winner, sending Fenway Park into a frenzy. This hard-fought victory marked the Red Sox's first walk-off win in their 26-game winning streak.",
