Red Sox hit three homers in one inning to surge past Dodgers

sportsAug 2, 2026361,016

Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Masataka Yoshida hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the third inning at Dodger Stadium, giving the Boston Red Sox a 5-3 lead in Los Angeles. The three homers came consecutively in that frame and flipped the early deficit into a Boston advantage. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy praised Rafaela, saying "He’s otherworldly right now" after Rafaela's power surge on the road trip. The sequence capped a strong stretch for Rafaela, who had also homered in the previous game, and provided a momentum swing for Boston against the defending champions.

Jerry they stopped putting you in my feed I thought you were abducted or went on the run from the feds. Back to reality for a moment: A lot of people should be angry with the Tigers for trading a top pitcher for fucking prospects from the Dodgers. Nobody else had a better offer? Really?

Feels like more will be made than it should be from a series that has had altogether too much Cole Irvin and Emmitt Sheehan.

Between Cole Irvin and Wyatt Mills, the Dodgers have clearly decided that this weekend's games don't matter, and anyone off the street can be a Dodger pitcher, and I feel dumb for watching Dodger games that the Dodgers themselves don't care about.

The Red Sox have been rolling but sweeping the Dodgers in LA, marks another new high for a surging club with less than 24 hours to go before the trade deadline.

Watching the Red Sox from the very beginning of spring training to the point that they turned their season around right up until now has to be what being on bath salts feels like.
