In Los Angeles on Friday night, Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela hit two home runs to provide nearly all the Red Sox offense in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Boston produced only four hits against Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the bullpen but converted key opportunities, including an eighth-inning break that led to the decisive run. The victory followed Boston’s strong 21-4 July performance and marked a successful start to August as the club continued its momentum against a top National League opponent.
