Boston Red Sox vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Game Highlights

Gray (15-3) struck out seven and allowed six hits while walking one. He had won 14 games in three other seasons, most recently in 2025 with St. Louis.

He is just the third Red Sox starter since 2019 to win 15 or more games, joining Garrett Crochet (18 in 2025) and Eduardo Rodriguez (19 in 2019).

Abreu hit his 22nd homer in the second inning to put the Sox ahead 1-0, sending a fastball from Jared Jones (2-5) 420 feet over the right-field wall.

Masataka Yoshida left the game in the third with left hamstring tightness, coming up limping as he came into second with a double. He was replaced by Anthony Seigler.

Andruw Monasterio drove in two more with his ninth-inning RBI double, and Jahmai Jones drove in Monasterio. Despite the win, the Red Sox went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven.

Erik Miller worked a hitless eighth and Aroldis Chapman struck out two in the ninth to close out the victory.

The Pirates were led by Esmerlyn Valdez and Jake Mangum with two hits each. Jones struck out seven in five innings.

Up next LHP Patrick Sandoval (1-1, 3.30 ERA) starts for the Red Sox and RHP Paul Skenes (9-1, 3.88) goes for the Pirates to conclude the series on Sunday.
