My Comment: On second loss to Pirates, the Boston Red Sox move to second place in the AL East. More hits and more homeruns by Boston were not enough to overcome Pittsburgh. The Red Sox will try to salvage a victory tomorrow to end the series on a positive note. Speaking of positive notes - congratulations to Josh Reddick on his first homerun of the season!
