The Boston Red Sox swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series, winning the final game 8-4 on Sunday night. It marks the first time the Red Sox have swept the Dodgers since 2010.
Ceddanne Rafaela homered for the third consecutive game in the series finale, per Sportsnet. Emmet Sheehan struggled early for the Dodgers, and the team was unable to generate consistent offensive production, per Yahoo Sports.
The sweep extends Boston's recent dominance. The Red Sox are 28-5 in their last 33 games, per Yahoo Sports. One outlet suggested Sheehan's time in the Dodgers' rotation could be in jeopardy, while another reported the Red Sox are eyeing a potential October rematch with Los Angeles.
