Tarik Skubal made his first appearance in the Dodgers’ dugout during a disappointing 8-4 loss to the Red Sox, who completed a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium. Skubal’s trade from the Tigers may signal the end of Emmet Sheehan’s role in the starting rotation, especially after Sheehan allowed five earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings. Despite the loss, the Dodgers remain in solid standing at 69-43, while the Red Sox, now 60-51, are hopeful for a postseason run after a remarkable turnaround.
