LOS ANGELES, USA – The Boston Red Sox, powered by starters Steve Pearce and Mitch Moreland, have erased a four-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-6, and head for a ninth-seeded crown. World Series.

Moreland broke a three-run scoreline in the seventh inning and first-baseman Pearce scored a tying goal in the 8th and a doubles in the 9th minute, while Boston took a 3-1 lead in the best league game of the Major League Baseball -7 championship finals on Saturday, October 27 (Sunday, October 28, Manila time).

The Red Sox, who have an impressive 6-1 road record this past season, can win a ninth World Series title and a first since 2013, with a win in Game 5 at Dodger Stadium on Sunday.

After beating Boston 3 to 2 during an 18th match marathon, 18 Friday, the Dodgers seemed poised for the win when Yasiel Puig scored a point home three points behind Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez to score a sixth inning at Los Angeles.

Rodriguez, who made a brief appearance in Game 3 and became the first pitcher since 1924 to start a World Series game at zero rest day, was up to his 5 innings.

But he hit David Freese to take 6th place before Justin Turner scored a brace on the outside just in the third row of goals. Runner-up Enrique Hernandez was third and the Red Sox intentionally pushed Manny Machado to charge the goals with a goal.

Cody Bellinger hit a ground ball at Pearce and the throw at home caught Machado at the plate. But receiver Christian Vazquez's return to first base for a double-game attempt was out of focus, allowing Turner to score the first pass of the match.

This evoked Puig, who raised his arms as he went around the goals, while Rodriguez, who had scored only two hits in five scoreless innings, threw his glove to the floor, disgusted, while the balloon was heading towards the stands on the left.

It was the second time Puig had completed his post-season circuit after his three points in the Dodgers' win in the seventh game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League championship series. .

It inflamed the crowd at Dodger Stadium, but their euphoria was short-lived.

& # 39; Big swing & # 39;

The cushion was almost gone a round later, thanks to Moreland's 437-foot blast against the Dodgers' relief pitcher, Ryan Madson.

Madson was the third pitcher of the heat after Dodgers starter Rich Hill left Xander Bogaerts, Eduardo Nunez wiped out and Scott Alexander replaced Brock Holt.

Moreland pierced the first field he saw from Madson over the wall in the right field.

"Whenever you get into a situation like this, you want something to happen," Moreland said. "We continued to work, and we finally gave ourselves a chance by placing guys on the base and (I've) been able to capitalize and get a good pitch to put a good shot. "

Until then, said Alex Cora, the coach of the Red Sox, Boston had been serene, in part perhaps as the hangover of the third match of 7 hours and 20 minutes, but mostly because Hill did not had given no opening, allowing only one shot on 6 1/3 innings.

"We felt we had no or no energy," said Cora, adding that Puig's shot had a further depressing effect.

"But one thing about our team, we keep playing," said Cora. "It's been like this from the beginning, we know that in the last third of the game we were really good all season, in the playoffs, and that Mitch had a great momentum and that was allowed to continue. "

Difficult loss

With a lead of one, Roberts turned to Kenley Jansen to score the 8th goal and the Dodgers' close match dropped a tie that would tie the match to Pearce, the second batter he faced.

The Dodgers threatened at the bottom of the 8th, but striker Yasmani Grandal ended the run to end the first and third inning.

Boston took the lead for the first time in the 9th inning, when Rafael Devers made a breakthrough during the succession, Dylan Floro.

Pearce added a three-point double and scored on the Bogaerts single to narrow the gap to 9-4 while the Red Sox beat the Dodgers marker.

Enrique Hernandez, the Dodgers striker, was hoping for an unlikely comeback with a two-run homer on the ninth goal, but Craig Kimbrel, who is closer to the Red Sox, has held on for the last three outs.

"It's a tough defeat," said Roberts, whose Dodgers were the only team this season not to lose a match while they led by 4 points.

"Any defeat in the World Series is obviously difficult," said Roberts. "But now we are in a situation where we are dead or dead.

"To their credit, they fought and won a baseball game, now we have to bend our head and try to win a baseball game and that's one day at a time." – Rappler.com
