The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Sunday’s Game 5 to become the 2018 World Series champions for the ninth time. The best of sevens tournament ended with four wins for Boston and one win for the Dodgers.

Needing a single victory to become the 2018 World Series champions, the Red Sox hit two runs in the first inning to start the game in a dramatic fashion.

Steve Pearce was heroic on Sunday as his eighth-inning home run was decisive in the win over Los Angeles. “You grow up wishing you could be part of something like this,” Pearce said of the win. “This has been a lifelong journey. To be here right now is a dream come true.”

The Red Sox have been phenomenal this year, winning 108 games in the regular season and 12 in the playoffs. Their 119 wins are a new record for the franchise and only the third highest winning team in baseball’s history. The other two teams are the 2001 Mariners’ team that won 120 games and the 1998 Yankees squad that won a total of 125 games.

For the Dodgers, Sunday’s loss was their second consecutive defeat in the World Series after losing last year’s tournament to Houston. They haven’t won the World Series since 1988 and things could get worse if star pitcher Clayton Kershaw opts out of the final two years of his $65 million contract. He has until Wednesday to make that decision.

The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 to extend their lead to 2-0 in the ongoing World Series on Thursday night.

The Dodgers appeared to be in control of the game up until J.D. Martinez snatched a comeback with two outs in the fifth inning. David Price added another outing while the bullpen helped secure the final point in Thursday’s Game 2 matchup.

“We knew we were going to have a good team, good lineup, good chemistry, and good energy—but not that good,” Boston’s Eduardo Nunez said. “We can beat you with homers; defense, pitching, base hits, stolen bases. I think we have it all.”

Nunez isn’t wrong. After they won 108 games in the regular season, Boston has won nine of 11 games in the playoffs. The third game of the World Series will be played in LA but the Red Sox team couldn’t be more confident.

The Dodgers fell to the Houston Astros at a time like this year. If they lose to Boston in LA, they will become the first team to lose consecutive World Series games since the Giants in 1936 and 1937, both times to the Yankees.
