With the MLB trade deadline approaching, the Boston Red Sox are making calls and identifying players they're interested in.

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers (61-44) will square off with Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox (56-50) at Fenway Park on Sunday, July 27.

Garrett Crochet allowed two solo home runs in the top of the first, but then pitched five shutout innings to help the Boston Red Sox defeat the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Saturday night.

Teoscar Hernandez had a two-run homer and three RBIs during Los Angeles’s 5-2 victory over Boston on Friday night.

Dodgers star Mookie Betts is expected to return to the team sometime Saturday night after missing a game due to a death in the family, manager Dave Roberts said.

Duran hit it hard, but not as hard as Teoscar Hernández had hit Jorge Alcala’s sinker, a two-run home run and a brutal blow in the Red Sox’ 5-2 loss to the Dodgers on Friday.
