LOS ANGELES — The blockbuster nine-player trade between the Dodgers and Red Sox went down more than four years ago, but the one player left from the trade on either team still made his presence felt in L.A.’s 3-0 win over Boston on Saturday.
Adrian Gonzalez put together a three-hit day, with all three singles coming against Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez. The hits didn’t come hard, with Statcast™ exit velocities of 78, 91, and 61 mph, but they ended up in a good enough spot to play a part in two of the Dodgers’ three runs.
“We went into the game knowing he was going to attack with his fastball,” Gonzalez said of Rodriguez. “Secondary pitches aren’t his go-to stuff. He definitely wants to put you away with the fastball, so we were ready for fastballs. Not get big because his fastball plays harder than the number says.
