Jarren Duran and Roman Anthony both had big nights Saturday as the Red Sox claimed an exciting win over Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers. Their reward? Being flip-flopped in the batting order a day later.

Alex Cora made a notable lineup change ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers, batting a top rookie leadoff while moving Jarren Duran to the three spot.

Crochet (12-4) allowed two runs in the first inning, then combined with Justin Wilson, Garrett Whitlock, and Aroldis Chapman to blank the Dodgers for eight innings.

Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow vowed in mid-June after the Rafael Devers trade that he would still bolster the team at the deadline. Now it’s crunchtime, and despite a 2-5 record with a tough schedule coming out of the All-Star break, another commanding win Saturday gave Breslow more reason to fortify the club.

To counter the legendary Dodgers southpaw, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has stacked his lineup. Rob ‘Southpaw Slayer’ Refsnyder will lead off and serve as designated hitter, with regular leadoff man Jarren Duran batting seventh, instead. Romy Gonzalez, another prodigious lefty killer is batting cleanup and manning second base.

Garrett Crochet gave up two home runs in the first inning, but dialed in after and helped the red sox beat the Dodgers 4-2.

The Boston Red Sox skipper made his stance on the San Francisco Giants and their franchise slugger very clear.
