Wilson Alvarez (2-2) pitched just two innings before leaving with a strained left hip and the Dodgers trailing 2-0.
The Seattle Mariners designated 33-year-old outfielder Quinton McCracken for assignment on Friday and called up right-hander Clint Nageotte from Triple-A Tacoma.
Nageotte was expected to be available for Friday night's game in Boston. The move left Seattle with 15 days to trade, release or outright McCracken, who has hit .150 in 19 games this season.
The 23-year-old has worked only as a starter in Tacoma this season, going 4-3 with a 4.66 ERA in nine games. In 48 1-3 innings, he had 42 strikeouts and 25 walks.
