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.

Shohei Ohtani was held homerless for the first time in a week in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Ohtani struck out twice, singled, walked and hit a foul popup.

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.

To counter the legendary Dodgers southpaw, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has stacked his lineup. Rob ‘Southpaw Slayer’ Refsnyder will lead off and serve as designated hitter, with regular leadoff man Jarren Duran batting seventh, instead. Romy Gonzalez, another prodigious lefty killer is batting cleanup and manning second base.

The Boston Red Sox made an unwelcome announcement about one of their most widely heralded rookies on Saturday.

The Boston Red Sox skipper made his stance on the San Francisco Giants and their franchise slugger very clear.
