Boston Red Sox starter Michael Wacha pitched his team past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1. Edwin Díaz recorded the save, his 5th. The Red Sox, now 7-15, have not found much traction so far in 2024.

Miguel Vargas chipped in a run-scoring sacrifice fly for Boston in the top of the fifth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"My job is to throw quality pitches, go as deep as I can, and give us an opportunity," said Wacha.
