The Boston Red Sox are World Series Champions, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games to capture their ninth title in franchise history.
Steve Pearce, who delivered some late lightning to spark a thrilling Game 4 comeback last night, didn’t wait long to do more damage. His two-run homer off Clayton Kershaw in the first inning would prove to be the winning runs. The journeyman wasn’t content with one home run though, taking Pedro Baez deep in the eighth inning to put the cherry on top of a series-clinching performance.
Pearce was the ring leader of the supporting cast that carried the Red Sox in this series.
