BALTIMORE -- Although the Boston Red Sox are the highest-scoring team in the majors, theyve relied heavily on their pitching to put together a momentum-changing winning streak. Chuck Bednarik Womens Jersey .David Price allowed four hits before a rainstorm stopped play for good after six innings, and the Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory.Jackie Bradley Jr. homered and drove in four runs for the Red Sox, who swept the two-game series to climb past the Orioles into second place in the AL East.Boston had lost 13 of 20 before sweeping three from Arizona, topping Cleveland in a makeup game and twice casting aside Baltimore.Our starters have set the tone in this stretch, manager John Farrell said.Price (11-8) was cruising until a driving storm stopped play, and the game was finally called after a delay of 1 hour, 17 minutes.Price struck out four and walked none to earn his second victory in seven starts since July 10. The only run he allowed came on a second-inning homer by Chris Davis.Well go as far as the starters take us, and weve thrown the ball well as a group, the left-hander said.Boston outscored the Orioles 13-4 in the two games.We didnt pitch particularly well in certain spots, manager Buck Showalter conceded.The Orioles 39-19 home record is the best in the AL, but theyre 2-4 against Boston at Camden Yards. Baltimore, which had been in first or second place since opening day, dropped behind Toronto and the Red Sox.I mean its so close, the separation between the teams, Davis said. The important part is to keep going. There is still plenty of time left to regroup and get back on track.Baltimore rookie Dylan Bundy (6-4) entered with three straight wins and a 2.93 ERA, but the right-hander yielded five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.I threw some good pitches and they still hit them, Bundy said. So, its just one of those nights. Just got to learn from it and get better from here.Orioles nemesis Mookie Betts went 2 for 3 with a walk and scored three runs. Betts is batting .440 with eight homers, 19 runs scored and 17 RBI in 12 games against Baltimore this season.The game turned in the third inning with the score tied at 1. Bundy awkwardly toppled off the mound chasing a grounder to the right side and appeared to twist his right ankle. He declared himself OK after taking a few warmup pitches, and play resumed with two outs and the bases empty.Bundy issued a two-out walk to Betts on a 3-2 count, and Bradley followed with a drive that cleared the wall in center field.Sandy Leon hit a two-run shot in the fifth and Bradley doubled in two runs in the sixth against Tyler Wright.MILESTONEFarrell picked up his 313th win as Red Sox manager, moving past Ralph Houk for sole possession of ninth place in club history.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are accomplishing things in Dak Prescotts rookie season that never happened under Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.Dallas, which got its five Super Bowl championships under Staubach and Aikman, had never won 10 consecutive regular-season games in the same season until now.Only once before in franchise history had the Cowboys started 10-1, in Tony Romos first full season as the starter in 2007. That was also the only other time since 2005, their last Super Bowl season, that they already had 10 wins on Thanksgiving Day.I have tons of confidence in myself, this team, and the coaching staff, Prescott said. I never go in to the game thinking we are going to lose, it is always what do we have to do to win? I feel like that is how this team thinks.The NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1) havent lost since their 20-19 setback to the New York Giants in the opener, when Prescott and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott made their NFL debuts. Their 31-26 win over Washington on Thanksgiving Day completed a season sweep of the NFC East rival.The momentum is real for us right now. Our football team is a lot of fun, veteran tight end Jason Witten said. Its neat to be a part of this and lead a great group of guys. ...Ten wins is good but they dont hang those banners after 11 weeks. We have to continue to build here going into a critical stretch.Unlike after most Thanksgiving games, the Cowboys dont immediately get a long weekend this time. They play another Thursday game next week at Minnesota, meaning their extended break will instead come before the Nov. 11 rematch against the Giants in New Jersey.After that, the Cowboys will have consecutive home games against Tampa Bay and Dettroit before finishing the regular season at Philadelphia. Wilbert Montgomery Jersey. Its cool. We have to keep it moving though. We cant get comfortable, receiver Dez Bryant said about the 10-game winning streak. When you get comfortable youre going to fall apart. Its still a long season. We have to make sure everyones mind is right, including mine. We have to be chasing something.The only time the Cowboys have won more consecutive regular-season games was 11 in a row -- the last five of the 1968 season and the first six games in 1969, a stretch that included Staubachs first NFL start.When including postseason games, the longest winning string in franchise history is 12 in a row. That included the Cowboys first Super Bowl title during the 1971 season, when they won their last seven regular-season games and all three postseason games, before winning the first two games of the 1972 season.Were striving for perfection, veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Nobody is making the playoffs after 10 wins. We just have to keep our foot on the gas and continue to go in week in and week out and win football games.Game notes Prescott is three short of Ben Roethlisbergers NFL rookie record for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl Era. Roethlisberger won 13 consecutive games as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2004. ... The Cowboys have the longest winning streak following a season-opening loss since San Franciscos 11 straight wins after losing its 1997 opener. The NFL record is 12 in a row by Minnesota in 1969.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
