In the eighth inning, the Red Sox added two more runs on a wild pitch and a passed ball. Andy Pages had three RBIs, but the Dodgers could not build on the momentum from their big trade for Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night.
Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing was removed from the lineup before the game due to right arm irritation, with Eliezer Alfonzo taking over.
Next, the Red Sox will start a three-game series at home against the Chicago White Sox, while the Dodgers will play a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs.
