Garrett Crochet struck out 10 in six innings, Jarren Duran hit a two-run triple and the Boston Red Sox beat Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2

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.”

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.

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.

Fans were left torn on what to do about the Fenway Park concessions worker strike while attending the highly anticipated Boston Red Sox series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

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 crunch time, 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.

The first inning didn't go well for Garrett Crochet. But he made some adjustments after allowing two homers and shut down the Dodgers the rest of the way.

After trading Rafael Devers, the Red Sox committed to improve the team. "I think we're going to make a nice move," said shortstop Trevor Story.

Over the past few years, since Major League Baseball added the third Wild Card spot, buyers have become more prevalent. For teams like the Boston Red Sox, there's reason to believe that it could hurt and help them.

“He was wearing a cut-off shirt," Cora said. “And when he left, I told them, ‘He looks stronger.'" Cora has seen more arm strength from 32-year-old Story as the season has progressed. He also has seen him play better defensively on balls hit to his left.
