The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their series finale against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, suffering a sweep at the hands of the red-hot AL East squad.
The Dodgers struggled to score runs against the Red Sox, scoring four or fewer runs in each of the three games. Emmet Sheehan started for the Dodgers in the last game of the series, and struggled to keep runs off of the board during his outing.
He threw just 2.2 innings, allowing five runs before the Dodgers pulled him. Two of those runs came in the bottom of the first inning, when Masataka Yoshida and Caleb Durbin both logged RBI singles to take an early lead.
The Dodgers claimed their only lead of the game in the bottom of the second inning, as Eliezer Alfonzo grounded out to score Kyle Tucker with the bases loaded before Andy Pages brought two more runners home with a single.
LA's lead didn't last long, though, as the Red Sox hit back-to-back home runs to start the third inning, regaining the lead. Yoshida struck again shortly after, hitting a home run of his own to make the score 5-3. Sheehan got one more out after Yoshida's home run before exiting the game.
