Boston Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela hit a three-run homer, extending his impressive streak, as the team secured an 8-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game sweep. Masataka Yoshida also contributed offensively with a solo homer and two RBIs, while Jake Bennett pitched effectively, allowing only three runs in 5 2/3 innings.
The Red Sox's dominant performance extended their winning streak to five games, currently holding a record of 23-3 since July 3. Emmet Sheehan was removed from the game after allowing five runs in 2 2/3 innings, and the Red Sox capitalized on their early advantage with back-to-back homers from Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu in the third inning.
Jarren Duran added another homer in the sixth inning, and the Red Sox sealed the win with two additional runs in the eighth inning. The Dodgers, despite their blockbuster trade for Tarik Skubal, struggled to generate sustained momentum in this series.
