Drew Pomeranz spent the week searching for the missing puzzle piece.

The answers didn’t come at any point Saturday over Pomeranz’s 3⅓ innings against the Braves, but a potent Red Sox lineup was still able to push out 10 hits and come away with a 8-6 win at Fenway Park.

A week ago, the moment Pomeranz got in the clubhouse after giving up five runs over four innings in a 7-4 loss to the Orioles, he hit the film room, looking for the tiniest flaw in his delivery.

If he could figure it out, he thought, he could solve the problems that have made the start of the season so rocky for him.

He threw a 20-pitch simulated game Tuesday while the Sox were at Tampa Bay and got an extra two days to regroup when the Sox pushed him back in the rotation to pitch Saturday against the Braves.

“I just focus on coming in here every day and figuring out what the problem is to get back to how I was,’’ Pomeranz said. “Because right now I don’t feel like the same guy as I was last year.’’

At the same time, the Sox wanted to be able to move forward knowing they could trust the 29-year-old lefthander in the starting rotation.

There was evidence from last season that Pomeranz could work through struggles. After going 3-3 with a 4.97 ERA in his first eight starts, he went 14-3 with a 2.85 ERA the rest of the way.

“That’s what everybody’s telling me, just to be patient,’’ said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. “I saw him pitching towards the end of the season, and he was a tough matchup. Pitched inside using the breaking ball. So hopefully that’s what’s going to happen this season.’’

Pomeranz gave up a season-high five earned runs on six hits in his shortest outing of the season. For the third straight outing, he failed to make it past the fourth inning.

But for the second straight game, the Sox wiped out deficits of at least two runs to pull out back-to-back wins. Andrew Benintendi put up his team-leading eighth three-hit game, going 3 for 4 with a home run, triple, and three RBIs. Mitch Moreland went 2 for 5 with a double, triple, and two RBIs.

For his part, Pomeranz acknowledged he was still at a loss for solutions.

“It’s one thing to go out there and pitch sometimes and be like, ‘Hey, my curveball’s not good today,’ ’’ he said. “I’m going out there right now and feeling like nothing’s good. So it’s kind of frustrating — it’s really frustrating. Our offense is so good that they’ve been bailing me out over these crappy starts.’’

Pomeranz put the Sox in a 3-0 hole, giving up a two-run homer to the Braves’ No. 9 hitter, Dansby Swanson, in the second inning then an RBI double to Kurt Suzuki in the third.

The Sox offense answered immediately.

Moreland sparked the fuse in the third, leading off the inning by legging out a one-out triple (his first since 2014). Xander Bogaerts drove him in with a single to right.

Making his regular-season debut, Dustin Pedroia worked a four-pitch walk to make it first and second with one out. After an Eduardo Nunez strikeout, Blake Swihart poked a line drive into center field for a single that scored Bogaerts and cut the lead to 3-2. A batter later, Christian Vazquez shot a ground ball to right, and Pedroia came racing around from second, scoring on a headfirst dive to tie it at 3.

The Sox had to climb out of another hole after Pomeranz gave up a single to Swanson and walked Ozzie Albies in the fourth. At that point, Cora called Hector Velazquez from the bullpen. Velazquez gave up an RBI single to Freddie Freeman and a sacrifice fly to Nick Markakis that pushed the Braves’ lead to 5-3.

Benintendi shipped a 2-and-0 fastball from reliever Jesse Biddleinto the center field bleachers to cut the deficit to 5-4 in the fourth.

Steven Wright came on in the fifth and gave the Sox three shutout innings to keep them in striking distance.

Moreland took advantage in the sixth, shooting a two-run double to right field to put the Sox up, 6-5. Then in the seventh, Benintendi cashed in again with a two-run triple to pad the lead.

With a new-look lineup designed to attack Braves lefthanded starter Sean Newcomb, the Sox worked him for six hits, four walks, and three runs over three innings before doing the rest of the damage against Atlanta’s bullpen to come away with their 17th come-from-behind win of the season.

“We’ve been doing that the whole season,’’ Cora said. “Obviously, that’s not the way we want it, but being able to hit the ball out of the ballpark, it seems like we’re a walk and a swing away from getting back into games. And that’s a good feeling.

“Anybody in the lineup can hit the ball in the air and out of the ballpark and get us back in it. In the dugout, you felt the energy. They never put their head down and they kept grinding.’’

Despite another rough outing, Cora said he’ll stick with Pomeranz in the rotation.

“It wasn’t a great day for him,’’ Cora said. “But we trust this guy.’’
