The Red Sox are offically in second place in the American League East for the first time since early June. The team's recent slide has left many fans anxious, and the Red Sox are hoping to right the ship in the series finale Sunday in Pittsburgh.
The Red Sox have dropped the first two games of the series against the Pirates and have lost four straight overall. The last time the Sox lost five straight was at the beginning of the season, when they opened 0-6.
Andrew Miller will hope to get the Red Sox back on track in his second start of the season. Miller was solid in his last outing, holding San Diego to three runs through 5 2/3 innings. Miller will face off against James McDonald, cousin of Red Sox outfielder Darnell McDonald.
