BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The last time the Boston Red Sox won 15 straight games, Ted Williams was putting together an MVP season in 1946 and leading them to an American League championship.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Red Sox matched that streak from 80 years ago, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 in the opener of a doubleheader.<\/p>\n

The streak ended hours later when they dropped the nightcap 5-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a great ride, a 15-game winning streak,\u201d first baseman Willson Contreras in a quiet clubhouse. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to be sad about. We have to be happy. We should be proud of what we did and from now keep playing the way we\u2019ve been playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the loss, interim manager Chad Tracy was ready to speak to the team but saw Contreras and pitcher Sonny Gray talking, so he let those veterans handle it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just won 15 games in a row and I think all of us knew it was going to end at some point,\u201d Tracy said.<\/p>\n

After the earlier win, Tracy said he understood the historical significance. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read some stuff. I know Ted Williams was around back then, so I\u2019m aware of the year and how long it\u2019s been,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s cool that they\u2019ve accomplished something great.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the afternoon game ended, the Red Sox took a little more time than usual on the field to soak it in as The Standells\u2019 song \u201cDirty Water\u201d played in the background like it does after each victory in Fenway Park.<\/p>\n

They also enjoyed the moment in the clubhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yeah, absolutely between the staff. We were realizing the guys were going crazy in the locker room \u2014 they always do \u2014 but even more emphasis right now with what we\u2019re going through,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cEverybody enjoys it for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston fired manager Alex Cora after a 10-17 start and seemed to be in for a long season under Tracy. The Red Sox were 37-48 and last in the AL East on July 1 following a 10-2 loss to Washington.<\/p>\n

Three weeks went by \u2014 a stretch including the All-Star break \u2014 before Boston (52-49) lost again. <\/p>\n

Tracy is the first manager since the 19th century to lead a team to a win streak of 15 games or more who didn\u2019t start the season in the job, according to MLB.<\/p>\n

With a 6-3 lead after six innings, Caleb Durbin, who hit a tiebreaking homer in Monday\u2019s win over Baltimore, started thinking about how many outs were left.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the seventh inning I\u2019m counting them down a little bit,\u201d he said, smiling.<\/p>\n

After the final out, left fielder Jarren Duran said he was able to appreciate the cheering crowd when he met with center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela and right fielder Wilyer Abreu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I get to go see (them), I take a look around and I get to enjoy that moment, that\u2019s always fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With the organization in its 126th season, the streak has more meaning for some.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look back at it and think about where you\u2019re doing it and how long this franchise has existed. It\u2019s been incredible,\u201d Durbin said.<\/p>\n

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz, who grew up watching the Red Sox about 45 miles away in Fall River, Massachusetts, showed his respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, a 15-game heater is really impressive,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know, its tough to win one game in the big leagues and them going 15 straight, it\u2019s really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n
