LOS ANGELES -- Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia left Friday's game against the Dodgers in the fourth inning with a left shin contusion.
Pedroia fouled a ball off his shin in the third inning against Dodgers right-hander Scott Kazmir. He winced in pain and hobbled around just outside the batter's box as Red Sox manager John Farrell and the team athletic trainer came to check on him.
Aaron Hill, who started the game at third base, replaced Pedroia at second base. Travis Shaw replaced Hill at third.
