The Pirates finally did damage against a left-handed starter, jumping Boston early in an 8-3 win to take two of three from the Red Sox. Esmerlyn Valdez, Bryan Reynolds and Brandon Lowe set the tone, Nick Yorke drove in three in his return, and the bullpen handled the rest around a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay.
Jim and Doug break down the offensive approach, Lake Bachar’s three scoreless innings, Hunter Barco’s uneven outing, strong work from Kirby Yates and Camilo Doval, Mason Montgomery’s dominant stretch, and what the Pirates still need to do to make the final weeks of the season matter.
