The Boston Red Sox win a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers after posting a second consecutive victory over the two-time reigning champions. Multiple outlets report that Ceddanne Rafaela drives the outcome with two home runs, contributing to the Red Sox’s offensive production in the clinching game. Both sources describe Boston as extending a strong run of postseason-or-late-season momentum, stating that the team now has won eight consecutive series. The Athletic characterizes the two wins over Los Angeles as a “statement” series showing, citing the Dodgers’ status as two-time reigning champions and noting that Boston locks up the eighth straight series win. Yahoo Sports similarly focuses on the series-clinching nature of the victory and highlights Boston’s overall streak, saying the Red Sox have claimed eight series in a row following Saturday’s win. The reports do not conflict on the core details: Rafaela’s two-homer performance, Boston’s back-to-back success against the Dodgers, and the eighth consecutive series win.
