LOS ANGELES — Interim manager Chad Tracy refused to call his Boston Red Sox’s sweep of the two-time reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers at home a statement.Perhaps because he thinks his gritty club — in the midst of the most improbable of seasons — is capable of more. That its latest sweep came just hours before Monday’s trade deadline seemed all the more important.On Sunday, the Red Sox bounded out to an early lead, fell behind, then battled back yet again to topple the Dodgers with a convincing 8-4 victory, handing the Dodgers just their second series sweep of the season. The Red Sox sit in second place in the American League wild-card race, just 2 1/2 games back of the New York Yankees for the top spot. They’re five games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for first in the American League East.“I think we’re playing really good baseball,” Tracy said matter-of-factly. “Obviously we did it against the Dodgers, but we’ve been doing it against a lot of teams now, and we’ve been doing it for a long period of time. We continue to go about it the right way and we’re getting the same results.”The sweep marked Boston’s sixth in its last 10 series. The team has had this success against some of the best clubs in baseball, and has 14 straight wins against teams with a winning record.The Red Sox jumped out to an early lead with Masataka Yoshida and Jarren Duran driving in runs in the first inning. The Dodgers took a 3-2 lead in the second with a blitz on rookie starter Jake Bennett. But for the 11th time in their last 15 wins, the Red Sox surged back quickly.In the third, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Yoshida each hit solo homers in the span of seven pitches, ambushing Dodgers starter Emmett Sheehan. For Rafaela, it was his fourth homer in three games.
