This could very well be the greatest Red Sox team
ever. They went 11-3 in the postseason, won all three rounds
on the road and finished the 2018 campaign as
World Series Champions with 119 total wins. On Sunday night,
David Price (pitching on short rest) cemented his Boston legacy by throwing seven brilliant innings and winning his second game in this World Series—making
Alex Cora look like a genius
again. He gave up a home run on his first pitch—then
dominated. And, AL East journeyman
Steve Pearce hit
two home runs—capturing
World Series MVP honors. Also going yard for the Red Sox were
Mookie Betts and
J.D. Martinez—so, all five Boston runs came from the long ball (ironically, what the Dodgers were known for all year). The Red Sox bullpen was again masterful—with
Joe Kelly striking out the side in the 8th and
Chris Sale finishing off the season by doing the same in the ninth. This was a resilient, aggressive Red Sox team and were the
best in baseball wire-to-wire.
Congratulations to the Red Sox—2018 World Series Champions!
