One hit did the trick for the Dodgers on Friday night. In their first game after the All-Star break, a Freddie Freeman grand slam in the eighth inning scored all the Dodgers’ runs in a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Here’s what else you might have missed Friday:
Clayton Kershaw is eyeing a return to the majors after a promising rehab start with the Oklahoma City Baseball Club. Despite a rocky beginning, giving up three runs in the first innings, Kershaw displayed resilience over his four-inning outing. His performance suggests he might soon rejoin the Dodgers, potentially boosting their rotation for the season’s second half.
