Five game series can be annoying and frustrating, but they also lead to a whole lot of intrigue. The Red Sox seemed doomed heading into this game having been utterly dismantled by the Astros in the first two games on this series. Then, they came out in this game and now they’re suddenly one win away from tying things up and forcing a decisive Game Five. The odds are certainly still stacked against them, but they played outstanding baseball today and got themselves back into this series, earning a little more respect for themselves along the way.
