Boston Red SoxvsLos Angeles Dodgers
BOS 9/LAD 4
Things to say
Boston beat the Dodgers 9-4 at Dodger Stadium.
01
opener
Red Sox went into Dodger Stadium and just hammered them, 9-4. Boston jumped on them early and never let LA back in it. Rough night for the home crowd.
02
key player
The top of Boston's order was a nightmare all night. The heart of the order kept turning the lineup over and putting up crooked numbers.
03
hot take
I don't care that the Dodgers are 69-41, that pitching staff looked tired. They're coasting and it's gonna bite them in October.
04
deep cut
LA's manager went to the pen way too early and it fell apart. Once that bullpen got exposed, the Sox left the yard and it snowballed.
05
exit
Anyway, Boston's punching above their record right now. Curious if they can keep it going the rest of this series.
The recap
Boston walked into Dodger Stadium and lit it up, hanging nine on the Dodgers to steal one on the road. LA never got their bats going against the Sox, and once Boston got to the heart of the order things snowballed into a 9-4 laugher.
The Dodgers, sitting pretty at 69-41, just ran into a buzzsaw on this one. Red Sox climb back over the hump and head home feeling good about themselves.
