Every day since the Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown — just to put the timeline in perspective — the Red Sox have won if they’ve taken the field.Shoot, the American League won the All-Star Game with Aroldis Chapman helping to close it out in the ninth inning.Anything Boston touches at this point turns into a W.The Boston Red Sox have won 14 consecutive games.
