Heartbreaker in Extra Innings 
Hey Sox fans, it's been a tough one to swallow today. Our boys fought hard but ultimately fell to the Dodgers in an 11-inning thriller. The final score: Dodgers 7, Red Sox 6. We had our moments, but just couldn't seal the deal.Bright Spots in the Lineup 
Ceddanne Rafaela was outstanding, showing hustle with a walk, a single, and a stolen base. Jarren Duran also had a great game, securing two walks and scoring twice. The big hero gotta be Tyler O'Neill, launching not one but TWO homers, driving in four crucial runs. If anyone deserved the win, it was him! 
Pitching Highs and Lows 
Our pitching staff had its ups and downs. Brayan Bello held the Dodgers at bay for five solid innings, but the bullpen struggled to keep the lead. Closer Kenley Jansen brought the heat but allowed a tying home run in the 9th. Then it was Greg Weissert who couldn't hold them in the 10th, and Trevor Hamilton who ultimately gave up the game-winning single in the 11th.Heartbreak in the 11th 
Masataka Yoshida had a chance to be the hero in the top of the 11th but popped out to third. Meanwhile, the Dodgers executed in the bottom half. Shohei Ohtani got intentionally walked, and it was Will Smith who dealt the final blow with a single to left, bringing in the winning run.Looking Ahead 
It's a tough loss, but we showed a lot of fight tonight. Let's regroup and come back strong in the next game. Keep the faith, Red Sox Nation! Scoreboard for Red Sox @ Dodgers (July 20th, 2024)
