The Boston Red Sox became the fastest team to reach 100 wins since 2001 after David Price threw seven shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday night at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox, who on Tuesday became the first team this season to clinch a playoff berth, reached the century mark in their 146th game. The 2001 Seattle Mariners reached 100 wins in their 140th game, and went on to win a major-league-record 116 games.

Boston has reached 100 wins just four times in team history, last doing it in 1946, when the Red Sox went 104-50 and then lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in a seven-game World Series.
