Both by time and innings played, Game 3 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox represented the longest World Series game in MLB history.
Pitching dominated the matchup for both sides, with rookie Walker Buehler putting forth seven shutout innings in another high-stakes start. Possessing a 1-0 lead, Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen was tasked with recording the final six outs of the game.
The Red Sox wouldn’t go down quietly, however, as outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a game-tying solo home run in the eighth that ultimately paved the way for extra innings.
With the score still evened up at 1-1, the Red Sox would eventually take the lead in the 13th courtesy of an infield single by Eduardo Nuñez.
