Behind a solid performance from right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr., the Boston Red Sox defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3.

He tossed 102 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits. The Red Sox, now 23-7, have been playing some good baseball.

With Boston leading 4-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Acuna Jr. came up to bat against Pittsburgh pitcher Sawyer Gipson-Long. Acuna Jr. hit a fastball to center for a 3-run home run. His 13th home run of the season put the Red Sox on top, 7-0.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Acuna Jr., "and then get after it again."
