Lead changes, Ties, Blow Saves, Extra Innings and a whole lot more at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night.  In the end, the Dodgers walked off with a 7-6 win in the bottom of the 11th inning over the Red Sox.  The Dodgers will have an opportunity to complete the series sweep on Sunday night.  

Will Smith delivered the game-winning hit with a 1-out single in the 11th off of reliever Greg Weissert.

 Kenley Jansen took the mound with a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 9th and promptly gave up a game-tying home run to former Red Sox Kike Hernandez.  Jansen was able to get Freddie Freeman on a pop up later in the inning to strand 2 runners on base and send the game to extra-innings. It was Jansen's first blown save since mid-April and the first Home Run that he's allowed this season.  

Tyler O'Neill hit a pair of 2-run Home Runs for the Red Sox.  His first in July came in the 7th inning and put the Red Sox in front, 4-3. O'Neill led off the 10th with his 2nd 2-run Home Run of the game and his 18th on the year and that put the Red Sox in front, 6-4.

Weissert got the bottom of the 10th inning.  He allowed an RBI double with one out and then gave up a 2-out RBI single to Kike Hernadez that tied the game at 6-6.  Hernadez was thrown out at 2nd base to end the inning after tying the game up for the 2nd time in 2 innings.  

Josh Winckowski allowed 3 hitters to reach with a pair of singles and a walk to load up the bases.  With Kenley Jansen warming in the bullpen, Winckowski faced Miguel Rojas and got out of the inning when Rojas hit a check-swing roller out in front of the plate and Winckowski started the 1-2-3 inning-ending double play. He got the ball to the plate by shoveling the ball with his glove to catcher Connon Wong, who fired to first to complete the twin-killing.        

Brayan Bello went six innings and left with a 1-run lead but ended up with a no-decision.  He gave up 3 earned runs, walked 1 and struck out 7. 

The Sox will now attempt to avoid the series sweep on Sunday night.
