Masataka Yoshida

The Dodgers entered the ninth inning with a comfortable six-run lead, but since Phillips had already been warming, they opted to bring him into the game. After giving up a pair of runs and loading the bases while recording only one out though, Dodgers' skipper Dave Roberts turned to Hudson to close it out. He got Masataka Yoshida to ground into a fielder's choice that plated a run and then retired Wilyer Abreu on a fly ball to end it. This may represent a changing of the guard in the ninth inning for the Dodgers.

It appears to be a routine off day for O'Neill with Masataka Yoshida at designated hitter and Rob Refsnyder patrolling left field. The 29-year-old slugging outfielder could probably use a day off as he's scuffling at the plate recently, batting .179 (5-for-28) with zero homers and two steals over his last seven games.

Medina gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out seven. Medina had allowed no more than one earned run in three of his last four starts, but he struggled against the Red Sox. He gave up three runs in the first inning and solo home runs in the third and fourth inning to make it 5-0 Boston. He was removed after a Connor Wong single in the sixth inning and Wong scored on a home run by Masataka Yoshida with the run being charged to Medina. He has a 5.18 ERA on the season and is off the fantasy radar.

Devers knocked a base hit in the third inning to put the Red Sox on the board. He then stole second and scored on a single by Masataka Yoshida. Devers later took Gerrit Cole deep with a solo homer in the fifth. The 27-year-old third baseman is up to 19 homers while slashing .286/.372/.568 with 54 runs scored and 53 RBI across 333 plate appearances.

Holmes retired the first two batters he faced, but then a single and a homer ruined his night. The homer, a 405-foot blast from Masataka Yoshida, was just the second he's allowed in 36 innings this season. He's been stuck on 19 saves since June 9, and while that's mostly the fault of his teammates, he has given up runs in five of his last seven appearances. Even though Holmes is almost certainly one of the game's 15- or 20-best relievers, there is the chance that the Yankees will supplant him in the closer's role at the trade deadline.
