This Day In Dodgers History: Longest World Series Game Started

On Oct. 26, 2018, the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers began what would become the longest World Series game in MLB history.

The Dodgers, trailing 2-0 in the series, took an early lead in Game 3 on Joc Pederson’s solo home run in the second inning. That score would remain until Jackie Bradley Jr. tied the game with a solo homer of his own in the eighth.

The Red Sox took the lead in the 13th inning behind a leadoff walk and throwing error on an infield single by Eduardo Núñez. The Dodgers were three outs away from a daunting 3-0 series deficit, but the Red Sox then endured a disastrous inning of their own.
