MLB: Boston 2, LA Dodgers 0
BOSTON, (UPI) -- Another solid start from Clay Buchholz and a steady Boston bullpen Sunday led to a 2-0 shutout for a Red Sox inter-league series sweep of the LA Dodgers.
David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis each drove in a run to account for Boston's runs.
Buchholz (10-4) spread three hits and three walks across 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 1.62 earned run average over his last eight starts.
Daniel Bard recorded four outs in relief of Buchholz and Jonathan Papelbon shut the door on the Dodgers in the ninth for his 16th save.
Dustin Pedroia, who had the game-winning RBI single Saturday, went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored for the Sox, whose six-game win streak is their longest of the season.
Hiroki Kuroda (6-5) gave up two runs on six hits and a walk in seven innings for Los Angeles, which has lost four in a row. He struck out nine.
