Game 2 was the first time the Dodgers led the Red Sox at any point of the game. Boston played one full inning with the Dodgers up 2-1, before answering back with three of their own to put them up 4-2.
In Friday night's Game 3 – the longest game in World Series history – the Dodgers put even more pressure on the Sox, going up 1-0 in the third inning. Boston didn't answer back until the 8th inning, with a solo homer by Jackie Bradley Jr. that tied up the game at 1-1 and sent the third installation of the 2018 World Series into extra innings.
