Prior to Sunday, the 2026 Boston Red Sox didn't have much in common with the 2018 Red Sox, but they do now.
Boston completed a stunning four-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Fenway Park over the weekend, overcoming a 4-2 deficit in extra innings on Sunday to win the series finale on Jarren Duran's walk-off single.
Not only was it the Red Sox's first four-game winning streak of the season, but it was also their first four-game sweep of the Yankees since August 2-5, 2018.
Boston went on to win a franchise record 108 regular-season games that year and the World Series, capping off the greatest season in team history.
The 2026 campaign has not been as successful for the Red Sox, who have no active players remaining from that 2018 squad. Even after sweeping their top rivals, they are still last in the AL East at 36-46.
There's still time for them to turn things around, however, and their thrilling sweep could be the spark they need to finally get their season back on track.
