Though it took nearly six hours and 12 innings to reach an outcome, the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out a hard-fought 7-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Sunday’s three-game finale at Fenway Park.
It was a complete team effort, as the Dodgers burned through their entire bench and most of the bullpen in the marathon. After seven solid innings from Ryu in his first start of the second half, Pedro Baez entered the game in the eighth looking to protect Los Angeles’ 4-2 lead.
The right-hander struggled, potentially due to tipping pitches, yielding back-to-back home runs that allowed the Red Sox to pull even.
