BOSTON (AP) — Shohei Ohtani did not homer — for the first time in a week – but Teoscar Hernandez did on Friday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2.
Ohtani, who had tied the franchise record by homering in five consecutive games, struck out twice, singled, walked and popped up foul to the catcher. Hernandez had two hits for the Dodgers, including a two-run homer that made it 5-2 in the eighth.
Emmet Sheehan (2-1) held Boston to three hits, striking out five in five innings. Ben Casparius pitched the ninth for his first career save.
