Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling (68) throws in the first inning against Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium. Nothing. Joc Pederson even let a pitch hit him in the front knee in the eighth inning, but umpire Jim Wolf did not reward Pederson first base, ruling the batter made no attempt to get out of the way.

The 22-year-old Benintendi was called up to the Red Sox on Tuesday, just 14 months after he was selected by Boston with the seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft.
Despite all that, Sox manager John Farrell told the media after the game that Price had “very good stuff”. “This trip has seen games where we’ve scuffled to not only get a runner in scoring position or a base hit in that situation but to string any kind of base hits together, and that was the storyline today”. The four RBIs are the most by a Dodgers’ player in his debut.NOTES: Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (herniated disk) played catch Sunday, the first time he’s thrown a baseball since suffering a setback with his back after a simulated game July 17.
After leading off the second inning, Gonzalez scored the first Dodger run on a A.J. Ellis single. It was Turner’s 20th home run.Segedin lined a two-run double to right-center to score Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Reddick for a 3-2 Los Angeles edge with one out in the fourth.
His first major-league hit came after 2,331 plate appearances in the minors and a decision by his fellow Tulane University product, Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, to “give him a look, see how he fares”, according to Manager Dave Roberts.
Red Sox starter David Price (9-8) served up six runs (three earned) on five hits with five walks and three strikeouts. “I’d just got sent down”.
Over in the National League West, Los Angeles at 61-49 trails the San Francisco Giants by two games, but the Dodgers also hold a three-game lead in the NL Wild Card race.
“This is going to be the least amount of answers you can possibly give because I just don’t have them right now”, McCarthy said. They’re 1-4 in Price’s last five starts when their opponent allows two runs or less in its previous game and is 0-4 in his last four starts following a team loss in their previous game.
His wife Robin, who will be induced August 19, so her husband can attend the birth of their son, Robinson, was shown cheering on his run-scoring hits along with her mother, Suzanne Friedman, a longtime resident of Plantation. He received and deserved the loss in the final game of a long road trip that tilted the register to 5-6 for the Red Sox.
Red Sox: 2B Dustin Pedroia, who left Friday nights game after fouling a pitch off his left ankle, was still sore Saturday and didnt play.
Corey Seager set the Dodgers’ rookie record with his 31st double of the season, an RBI hit that made it 2-0 in the fifth. When asked what those were, Roberts said: “I don’t know”. He had been tied with Eric Karros (1992) at 30. Holaday was a teammate of starter David Price in Detroit in 2014-15. After being claimed off of waivers, catcher Bryan Holaday made his Red Sox debut, in which he went 0-3 with a walk. The Dodgers are one of the worst teams in the game against left-handed pitchers, but first Eduardo Rodriguez and now David Price have produced back-to-back stinkers against them.
“We come out with the same mentality tomorrow”, Betts said. When OF Chris Young’s rehab assignment will begin depends upon a baserunning workout Sunday.
