Red Sox fall flat, can’t complete sweep with forgettable 8-2 loss to Pirates

Just when it looked like the Red Sox were primed to go on a hot streak, they took a step back.

Josh Winckowski was torched for six runs – including two home runs by Bryan Reynolds – and the Red Sox’ offense went inexplicably silent in an 8-2 loss to the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates, one of their more forgettable defeats of the season.

It may have been just one of 162, but given where the Red Sox are, this was a missed chance.
