LOS ANGELES (AP) Newly promoted Ross Stripling and the Dodgers bullpen combined on a five-hitter, leading Los Angeles over the Boston Red Sox 3-0 Saturday.

Adrian Gonzalez got three hits and drove in a run. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz played first base for the first time this season and made two nice catches, but the veteran designated hitter went 0 for 3.

Stripling (3-3) pitched five innings after being called up from the minors when pitcher Bud Norris was put on the disabled list. Making his first start for the Dodgers since May 19, he gave up hits to the first two Boston batters.

Stripling allowed four hits and a walk, striking out four. Rookie Grant Dayton, up from the minors on Thursday, followed with two scoreless innings and Joe Blanton worked the eighth.

Kenley Jansen closed for his National League-leading 33rd save.

Eduardo Rodriguez (2-5) gave up three runs and eight hits over 4 1/3 innings.
