Boyd allowed just one run and three hits over six innings, while Emmanuel Clase secured his 42nd save of the season. The Dodgers had a chance to rally in the eighth inning but failed to capitalize with the bases loaded. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers won 3-1 against the Los Angeles Angels, showcasing rookie pitcher Gerson Garabito. The Rangers have been on an upswing, winning eight of their last ten games.
