Shohei Ohtani did not hit a home run against the Boston Red Sox on August 2, 2026, as the Dodgers were swept in the finale of a three-game series, losing 8-4 at Dodger Stadium. Boston out-homered Los Angeles 4-0 in the game, with Ceddanne Rafaela connecting for his third straight game and Masataka Yoshida also going deep.
The Red Sox scored early and often, pushing across two runs in a 30-pitch first inning before Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu hit back-to-back home runs to start the third, extending Boston's lead. Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan was pulled after allowing five runs in 2 2/3 innings, and Los Angeles was unable to generate offense to match Boston's power display.
The loss capped a series in which Boston's offense, particularly its home run production, overwhelmed a Dodgers pitching staff that had otherwise ranked among the majors' best in ERA for much of the season, coming just before the trade deadline reshaped both rosters.
