Boston Red SoxvsLos Angeles Dodgers
BOS 3/LAD 2
Things to say
The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 at Dodger Stadium.
01
opener
Sox took it 3-2 in LA. Low-scoring one, felt like every run mattered. Boston just found a way on the road.
02
key player
Whoever they ran out on the mound kept the heart of that Dodgers order quiet all night. That's the whole game in a 3-2.
03
hot take
Sixty-nine and forty-two and they still can't buy runs in a spot like this? The Dodgers offense goes missing in the tight ones.
04
deep cut
Boston's what, ten under .500 coming in, and they walk into Dodger Stadium and steal one. Nobody's talking about that.
05
exit
Anyway, this is a series with LA — let's see if the Dodgers punch back tomorrow.
The recap
Boston stole one in LA, grinding out a 3-2 win at Dodger Stadium against the best team in the National League. This was a low-scoring grind where the pitching carried it — nobody was leaving the yard, so every run mattered and the Sox squeezed out just enough.
The Dodgers' bats went quiet at the wrong time, stranding traffic and coming up a run short in a game that hinged on one swing. Big road win for a Boston club scrapping to stay in the hunt.
