LOS ANGELES – With a throw from Cody Bellinger and a shot from Max Muncy, the Los Angeles Dodgers returned to the World Series. It only took the longest play in the history of the Fall Classic to do it.
Muncy's spectacular home run in the 18th inning of Boston's Nathan Eovaldi gave the Dodgers a 3-2 victory in Test 3 of Game 3 of the World Series, which kicked off on Friday, but was not a big hit. is completed Saturday, thus reducing the advance of the Red Sox to the world. Series at 2-1.
This is L.A.'s first playoff win since Kirk Gibson's first game against the Oakland A's in 1988, allowing the Dodgers to win their final title. Muncy became the first player to score a run-up in a World Series game since former Cardinal and current Dodger David Freese in 2011.

It was also an act of mercy for everyone present at Dodger Stadium and watching TV. The homer ended a match that lasted 7 hours 20 minutes and ended at 3:20 pm, Boston time. The playing time would have been long for a double program. It was also the longest World Series contest by round.
According to Stats LLC, the match took longer than the 1939 World Series, when the Yankees swept the Reds in 7 hours and 5 minutes overall. A record 46 players appeared in the game – 23 for each team. There were two performances of "Take Out to the Ballgame" throughout the stadium in the middle of the seventh and fourteenth innings. A fan of the stands on the left could or could not read every 1,225 pages of "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy.
The game lasted well despite several near-misses to finish it in a more reasonable time.
A decisive moment occurred on the 13th, when the Dodgers put it on an error. With Muncy at second base and the Red Sox away from taking a 3-0 lead in the series, Yasiel Puig hit a ground ball in the center. Boston second baseman Ian Kinsler stumbled into play and dismissed first baseman Christian Vazquez, allowing Muncy to run home with a run that saves the season.
The stunning turnaround came just minutes after Boston took a 2-1 lead when Brock Holt scored from second base on a Dodgers reliever error, Scott Alexander. If the game was over as well, it would have been the first winning game to score on an error in a World Series match since the sixth game in 1986 – Bill Buckner's play that infamously lives in the tradition of Red Sox.
Instead of exorcising this particular demon, the Red Sox now have to wonder if new ones have been excited.

Eduardo Nunez hits the ball in the middle of the field and Cody Bellinger makes a great run at home to get Ian Kinsler out.
In a way, Bellinger helped organize the winning round eight innings earlier with a defensive jewel in the 10th inning. With runners at the corners and one out, Eduardo Nunez, the Boston pinches forward, carried a high ball to the center of the field.
Bellinger raised the ball so he could catch him with a momentum before, he did, and threw a rocket at receiver Austin Barnes who beat runner Kinsch by a full step and sent the Dodger crowd Stadium in a frenzy.
The game evoked another great throwing of a global series of a Dodger player. In 1974, Joe Ferguson shot down Oakland's Sal Bando in the opening game of this series in what was considered by some to be the biggest throw in Dodger history. If it was No. 1, Bellinger might have dropped his seat.
C & # 39; was also redemptive for Bellinger, who was chosen by David Price, of Boston, on the first goal, his score being tied at the bottom of the ninth.
Muncy just missed being the 15th anniversary hero when he hit what would have been a no doubt about the right-field line that had just snuck out of the post.
Boston tied the score in eighth place on the two-run circuit of Jackie Bradley Jr., who beat Dodgers backup ace, Kenley Jansen. The blast gave Bradley three home runs and 10 RBIs with two playoffs.
Bradley became the fourth player in the history of the Red Sox to score a draw in the eighth inning or later of a World Series game. It was the first match of its kind in Boston since Bernie Carbo's blast in Game 6 in 1975.
The fact that Bradley was even in the Boston squad was a new feat of Boston manager Alex Cora, who earned praise for his decision making in October. Need to find a way to keep In the training of J.D. Martinez, most thought that Bradley would probably be abroad. Instead, Cora stuck with his regular center player and pulled out Andrew Benintendi from the bench.
Jansen's house ruined the jewel of a Walker Dodgers rookie, Walker Buehler. Vicious is really the only word to describe Buehler's performance.
Buehler was in charge from the beginning, eliminating Mookie Betts from his debut in the series and stoking Martinez to end it. Buehler made 108 shots, the highest number of his career, with 26 balls at fault from the disciplined Red Sox. In the end, the fouling of balls was just about all that the Boston offensive in the league could do against Buehler.
Joc Pederson gave the Dodgers the only attack they could commit at the start of the game when he hit Rick Porcello's field over the fence on the right court with two outs in the third. This is L.A's first hit since Puig's single in the RBI game at the fourth inning of the second game.
Pederson became a king of the home run in October in the last two world series. He now has four homers in the fall classic, tied for third place in the history of the Dodgers with Gil Hodges. The third match was only his sixth career start in the World Series.
Boston only managed two singles against Buehler and did not allow a runner to find himself in second base against him. Buehler eliminated seven goals, making him the first rookie in post-season history to have at least four outings with so many K. At age 24, he also became the second youngest of the Dodgers with a start aimless in world series. Johnny Podres was 23 when he did it in the seventh game of the 1955 series.
After poor performances by the Dodgers' average defenseman in two Boston defeats, L.A.'s manager Dave Roberts thought he had discovered the perfect antidote. After Buehler finished his seven innings, Jansen was called to save six outings. A Bradley swing ruined the scheme.
This victory allowed the Dodgers not to fall into a 3-0 hole that only the 2004 Red Sox – with the help of a famous stolen base from Roberts – managed to stand out in the playoffs. Instead of answering questions about this long-time miracle return, Roberts can now focus on the same Dodgers' quest for the Saturday's Game 4 series.
That's to say if Roberts and his team are waking up in time for the late afternoon game.
