Red Sox Beat Dodgers 4-2 Behind Crochet, Duran

At Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet overcame a tough first inning, allowing solo home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández, but rebounded to strike out 10 over six innings, leading Boston to a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, making his second career appearance and first regular-season start at Fenway, struggled early and lasted only 4 2/3 innings, giving up four earned runs. Jarren Duran starred offensively for the Red Sox with two triples and a double, including a key two-run triple in the second inning. Crochet notched his fifth double-digit strikeout game of the season. The win allowed Boston to tie the series with the Dodgers and underscored the contrast between Crochet's dominance and Kershaw's late-career challenges. Kershaw's next opportunity to pitch at Fenway remains uncertain as he nears the end of his historic career.
