The Red Sox await the Pirates at Fenway Park in a game in which the Bostonians will try to extend their good moment at bat and achieve their third consecutive victory and the Pittsburgh team to get out of the losing dynamic after two losses. The Red Sox, who in theory do not count for this season for the bookmakers, have provided a show in their season opener in the series against the Orioles. Although they lost the first match (9-10) they won the second (9-8) and the third (9-5) scoring 9 runs in each of them. The Pirates, who theoretically have fewer aspirations, have started in reverse. Because although they beat the Reds in Cincinnati in the first game (4-5) they fell in the second (6-2) and in the third (3-1). Kutter Crawford (3-7, 5.90 career and 3-6, 5-47 in 2002) will start for the Red Sox and Johan Oviedo (4-11, 4.34 career ERA and 4-3, 3.21 ERA in 2022) will be the starter for the Pirates.
