The Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a win on Sunday night at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium, leaving Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan's rotation spot in question.
Sheehan struggled in the outing, and his time in the Dodgers' rotation could be done, according to reports. The game, played in front of Tarik Skubal, had an October-like atmosphere despite the calendar saying August.
The Red Sox, riding a hot streak, are already dreaming of a rematch with the Dodgers in the World Series. The contest was part of Sunday Night Baseball, and SportsLine's model had simulated the matchup 10,000 times, but the actual result went in Boston's favor.
The sweep at Dodger Stadium highlighted the Red Sox's strong play, while the Dodgers were left dealing with another concerning performance from a young starter. Los Angeles will now have to decide whether Sheehan stays in the rotation as the season moves closer to the playoffs.
