Flores, Lowe lead offensive charge as Pirates beat Red Sox

Rafael Flores Jr. and Brandon Lowe homered to lead another big night for the Pirates’ offense in an 8-4 win over the Red Sox at PNC Park on Friday night.

Pittsburgh Pirates' offense delivered a powerful performance, with Rafael Flores Jr. and Brandon Lowe driving in five runs to secure an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox at PNC Park. The Pirates' lineup exploded for four runs in the fourth inning, as Esmerlyn Valdez drove in a pair of runs with a double and Flores connected for a solo home run.

The Red Sox answered with two runs in the fifth, but Lowe answered back with a three-run homer off Jovani Morán, capping off a night of offensive fireworks. With back-to-back wins, the Pirates have won three straight games since their July 26 and 27 victories over Milwaukee and Arizona.
