The Boston Red Sox capped off a brilliant 2018 season on Sunday night with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to claim the ninth World Series title in franchise history.
The Red Sox wasted no time getting on the scoreboard in Game 5, as Steve Pearce took Clayton Kershaw deep for a two-run home run in the top of the first.
David Freese trimmed the deficit to 2-1 with a leadoff home run for the Dodgers, but that was all the offense they could muster as David Price allowed just two more hits over seven innings to pick up his second victory of the series.
