Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Dustin May took a clear stance with the team, which led to a surprising trade to the Boston Red Sox.

Boston is five games behind first place in the AL East and were surging right before the All-Star break following a trade that sent its slugger Rafael Devers to San Francisco. Instead of going all-in at the deadline, the team made minor moves, including bringing in often-injured starting pitcher, Dustin May, from the Dodgers.

The Red Sox acquired starter Dustin May from the Dodgers on Thursday, filling their need for pitching help. Los Angeles received outfield prospect James Tibbs III in return.

Shohei Ohtani left the mound alongside a trainer in the fourth inning with what the team later said was only cramping.

Ohtani felt cramping in his right hip in the first inning, pitching through it until the point where it began to impact his mechanics. “I just tried to work around it,” Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani miraculously records a hit despite destroying his bat on the play.
