It was the 455th consecutive sellout at Fenway, tying the Cleveland Indians for the most consecutive sellouts. The Red Sox's streak began on May 15, 2003, matching the Indians' stretch between 1995 and 2001.Much like this particular streak, the Sox's win on Wednesday took time to develop. But the ninth inning set the stage for a walk-off win that created an eruption of the 37,373 on hand.  Alex Cora slid into third base, located the ball rolling into left field and scampered home with his arms in the air. It was an easy jog, but it was anything but simple getting to that moment.

The Red Sox waited seven innings to jump-start their offense on Wednesday, but a three-inning rally to end the contest helped Boston earn a 5-4 victory over Baltimore at Fenway Park, completing a sweep of its American League East rivals

"I think it's fairly obvious how we feel about this ballclub," manager Terry Francona said. "Today was another example."
