LOS ANGELES—Will Smith singled with the bases loaded and one out in the 11th inning to drive in Kiké Hernández as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 7–6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, July 20.

Smith lined a base hit to center field off Greg Weissert (2–2) to give the Dodgers the victory. Hernández was the automatic runner at second base to begin the 11th. He advanced to third on pinch-hitter Cavan Biggio’s sacrifice bunt. Chris Taylor walked and Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked to set the stage for Smith.
