Jarren Duran and Roman Anthony both had big nights Saturday as the Red Sox claimed an exciting win over Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers. Their reward? Being flip-flopped in the batting order a day later.

Garrett Crochet posted yet another quality start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, the Boston Red Sox left-hander earned a spot in the MLB history books.

John Smoltz spoke with Carlos Narváez about his impact in with the Red Sox in 2025 and Boston's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Garrett Crochet gave up two home runs in the first inning, but dialed in after and helped the red sox beat the Dodgers 4-2.

Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow vowed in mid-June after the Rafael Devers trade that he would still bolster the team at the deadline. Now it’s crunchtime, and despite a 2-5 record with a tough schedule coming out of the All-Star break, another commanding win Saturday gave Breslow more reason to fortify the club.

Crochet allowed two solo homers in the first inning but then settled in. The lefty led the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers in front of a sold-out, mixed crowd of 36,687. “The first inning, I‘ve never seen anything like that," Cora said. “Credit to them.”

Crochet (12-4) allowed two runs in the first inning, then combined with Justin Wilson, Garrett Whitlock, and Aroldis Chapman to blank the Dodgers for eight innings.

It was October-like, high stakes baseball theater from start to finish at Fenway Park on Saturday night as the Red Sox and Dodgers battled it out in front of an electric, sold-out crowd.
