Boston left fielder Jarren Duran comes into this game riding a five-game hit streak pushing his team leading batting average to .301 through his first 20 games. Duran had a breakthrough season in 2023 hitting .295 with 40 RBIs in his first season playing over 100 games and is two runs scored away from 100 for his four-year career.
With a base hit in eight of his last nine games, Pirates left fielder Bryan Reynolds has improved his batting average to .260 but has seen his home run pace fall off after three consecutive 20-plus home run seasons hitting just two in his first 19 games.
Red Sox right fielder Tyler O’Neill ranks third in MLB with his team-high seven home runs but will miss this weekend series after suffering a concussion after colliding with Rafael Devers in Monday’s 6-0 home loss to Cleveland.
Pittsburgh swept Boston in a three-game series at Fenway Park last season while the Red Sox took two of three in their last visit to PNC Park.
