The Boston Red Sox continue rolling and started off the Pittsburgh Pirates series with a win withe help of a masterful performance from Nick Pivetta. The offense helped by scoring four runs in the first inning but the bullpen made it interesting like they always like to. Luckily Matt Barnes looked like the 2021 first-half version and shut the door. Kiké Hernández returned to the lineup while Matt Strahm is on his way back. Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Willand break down everything that happened in the Red Sox's victory and discuss what quality performances by Barnes and Pivetta mean for the Red Sox. Then they look at the return of Kiké Hernández and how the Red Sox will use him now that he's back. With multiple players returning from injuries, that means moves are on the way but Jarren Duran is staying in the majors, for now, so Lauren and Jake discuss if that's the right move. Then Jake and Lauren share injury updates regarding Matt Strahm and Tanner Houck. Lastly, they end it with the mental health minute as always.
