Red Sox Defeat Dodgers 3-2 with Late Rally

The Boston Red Sox triumphed over the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Saturday, thanks to Ceddanne Rafaela's two home runs and a pivotal run scored by Andruw Monasterio in the eighth inning.

Starting pitcher Payton Tolle allowed two runs on nine hits over six innings, striking out seven batters. Justin Slaten and Aroldis Chapman contributed to the win, with Chapman earning his 27th save. The Red Sox, who played without Willson Contreras due to a precautionary measure after a hit by pitch, improved to 5-1 on their seven-game road trip.

Teoscar Hernandez hit a home run for the Dodgers, who have lost four of their last six games. Despite having ten hits, Los Angeles struggled with runners in scoring position, failing to capitalize on four opportunities and leaving seven on base. The game featured a back-and-forth scoring sequence, with Boston initially taking the lead in the first inning before the Dodgers responded and the Red Sox ultimately secured the win.
