Amazing... Boston Legendary Red Sox now ahead of the Great LA Dodgers 3 to 1 after a record-setting World Series 18 inning game 3 loss.
The Red Sox's pitching plan was ripped to pieces by the mind-bending, time-shredding exercise that was the 18-inning Game 3 of this World Series. But their relentlessness remained very much intact.
Scoring all nine of their runs from the seventh inning on, with four RBIs from Steve Pearce, the short-on-sleep-but-long-on-life Sox deflated and defeated the Dodgers, 9-6, in Game 4 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, and they are back in a commanding and mathematically momentous position in this best-of-seven set.
Just when it looked like the Red Sox were falling out of Game 4 of the World Series, pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland and first baseman Steve Pearce got them back into it.
Pearce hit a solo shot off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen with one out in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4 after Moreland hit a three-run shot an inning earlier. Rafael Devers then put the Red Sox ahead in the ninth with a one-out RBI single off Dylan Floro, scoring Brock Holt, who had doubled, from second.
