In 2021, the Boston Red Sox owned the No. 4 overall pick in the MLB draft, the highest pick the organization possessed since 1967. The club used that coveted selection on the player who was rated the top prospect in that draft class by MLB Pipeline — Chula Vista, California, prep shortstop Marcelo Mayer.

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.

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.

Garrett Crochet struck out 10 in six innings, Jarren Duran hit a two-run triple and the Boston Red Sox beat Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 on Saturday night.

Crochet allowed two solo homers in the first inning but then settled in. The lefty led the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers in front of a sold-out, mixed crowd of 36,687. “The first inning, I‘ve never seen anything like that," Cora said. “Credit to them.”

The Boston Red Sox are interested in trading for Los Angeles Dodgers backup catcher Dalton Rushing to replace Connor Wong.
