1 MORE: The Red Sox can win the World Series as early as to- night...Should the Dodgers win Game 5, the teams would play Game 6 at Fenway Park on Tuesday (8:09 p.m.)...If necessary, Game 7 would be Wednesday in Boston (8:09 p.m.). 3-TO-1 ODDS: The Red Sox are the 46th team to hold a 3-games-to-1 lead in a best-of-7 World Series (source: Elias)... 39 of the previous 45 (86.7%) went on to win the series. This is the 6th time the Sox have held a 3-1 lead in a best-of-7 playoff series, having won each of the previous 5 between the World Series (1912, 1915, 1916, 1918) and ALCS (2018). COMEBACK KIDS: The Red Sox trailed last night’s game, 4-0, with 2 outs in the 7th inning...They then scored 3 runs in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, and 5 in the 9th en route to a 9-6 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of MLB’s 114th World Series. Last night marked the Sox’ largest comeback victory in World Series history, their 3rd-largest in postseason history (source: Elias)...They overcame a 7-run deficit to win Game 5 of the 2008 ALCS vs. TB, and a 5-run deficit to win Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS vs. DET. Prior to last night, the Dodgers had been 54-0 in 2018 when leading by 4+ runs at any point in a game (regular season and postseason). IN A PINCH: The Red Sox didn’t record their 2nd hit of last night’s game until there were 2 outs in the 7th inning, when Mitch Moreland delivered a pinch-hit, 3-run HR that cut the Dodgers’ lead to 1 run (4-3). Moreland’s 3-run shot was the Sox’ 2nd pinch-hit HR of the series (also Eduardo Núñez in Game 1)...The only other teams ever to hit multiple pinch-hit homers in a World Series are the 1975 Red Sox and 1959 Dodgers. The Sox have 7 pinch-hit RBI in the World Series (Moreland-3, Núñez-3, Devers-1), tied with the 1947 Dodgers for the most ever in a Fall Classic. STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM: With Mitch Moreland’s pinch-hit HR last night, the Red Sox became the 4th team in MLB history to hit 4+ HR from the No. 9 spot in the bat- ting order in a single postseason (Bradley-2, Moreland-1, Vázquez-1)...The other teams to do so are the 2002 Angels, 2014 Royals, and 2016 Cubs (4 each). PEARCE THE SKY: Steve Pearce tied last night’s game at 4-4 with a solo HR in the 8th inning, then added a 3-run double in the 9th to give the Red Sox an 8-4 lead...Those were the first 2 World Series hits of his career. Pearce is the 3rd Red Sox player with at least 1 HR and 4 RBI in a World Series game, joining Carl Yastrzemski (1967 Game 2) and David Ortiz (2004 Game 1). In Game 3 of the ALCS at Minute Maid Park, Pearce broke a 2-2 tie in the 6th inning with a solo HR that held up as the game-winning RBI. CRAZY EIGHTS: The Red Sox have hit a game-tying HR in the 8th inning in each of the last 2 games (Bradley in Game 3, Pearce in Game 4)...They are the 2nd team in World Series history to hit a game-tying HR in the 8th inning or later in back-to-back games, joining the 2001 Yankees (Games 4-5). FOREVER AND DEVERS: Rafael Devers broke a 4-4 tie last night with a pinch-hit RBI single in the 9th inning... Having just turned 22 years old on 10/24, Devers became the youngest player to record a go-ahead RBI in the 9th inning or later of a World Series game since Edgar Renteria in Game 7 of the 1997 Fall Classic. Devers became just the 6th different player (8th time) to record a pinch-hit RBI in a World Series game at the age of 22 or younger (last: Milt May in 1971)...Devers is the youngest player ever to hit a pinch-hit, go-ahead RBI in the 9th inning or later in the World Series. Devers has 14 RBI in 14 career postseason games... In his last 12 playoff games, he has posted a .361/.439/.611 batting line (13-for-36, 3 HR).

In the postseason, Holt leads the Red Sox in AVG (.304, 7-for-23), OBP (.429), and SLG (.609). WINNING WAYS: The Red Sox are 10-3 in the postseason, including 7-1 in their last 8 games...Since the Division Series format was introduced in 1995, 7 teams have won the World Series with 3 or fewer losses (most recent: 2008 PHI, 11-3). The 2004 and 2007 Red Sox went 11-3 in the postseason. The Sox are 15-3 in their last 18 World Series games, dating back to Game 1 of the 2004 Fall Classic...The Sox and Yankees are the only teams ever to go 15-3 or better over any 18-game stretch in World Series play. ROAD WARRIORS: The Red Sox are 6-1 on the road in the postseason, having out-scored opponents by a combined 51-22 margin away from Fenway Park. The Sox are 1 of 10 teams ever to win as many as 6 road games in a single postseason...The only team to win 7+ road games in a postseason is the 1996 Yankees (8-0). Of the Sox’ 8 World Series titles, 3 have been won on the road: 1915 (PHI), 2004 (STL), and 2007 (COL). WORLD STAGE: The Red Sox are making their 13th World Series appearance, having gone 8-4 in the previous 12... They won championships in 1903, 1912, 1915-16, 1918, 2004, 2007, and 2013...They lost in 7 games in each of their other 4 appearances (1946, 1967, 1975, 1986). The Sox are 48-29-1 (.623) in the Fall Classic, marking MLB’s highest win % among teams that have played in at least 3 World Series...Among all teams, only the Blue Jays (.667, 8-4) have a higher World Series win %.

LEAD THE WAY: Alex Cora became the 3rd individual in the Expansion Era (1961-present) to lead a team to the World Series in his 1st season as an MLB manager, joining Bob Brenly (2001 D-Backs) and Ralph Houk (1961 Yankees). Only 4 people have won the World Series in their 1st season as an MLB manager: Brenly, Houk, Eddie Dyer (1946 Cardinals), and Bucky Harris (1924 Senators).

1 MORE: The Red Sox can win the World Series as early as to-night...Should the Dodgers win Game 5, the teams would play Game 6 at Fenway Park on Tuesday (8:09 p.m.)...If necessary, Game 7 would be Wednesday in Boston (8:09 p.m.).

3-TO-1 ODDS: The Red Sox are the 46th team to hold a 3-games-to-1 lead in a best-of-7 World Series (source: Elias)... 39 of the previous 45 (86.7%) went on to win the series.

This is the 6th time the Sox have held a 3-1 lead in a best-of-7 playoff series, having won each of the previous 5 between the World Series (1912, 1915, 1916, 1918) and ALCS (2018).

COMEBACK KIDS: The Red Sox trailed last night’s game, 4-0, with 2 outs in the 7th inning...They then scored 3 runs in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, and 5 in the 9th en route to a 9-6 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of MLB’s 114th World Series.

Last night marked the Sox’ largest comeback victory in World Series history, their 3rd-largest in postseason history (source: Elias)...They overcame a 7-run deficit to win Game 5 of the 2008 ALCS vs. TB, and a 5-run deficit to win Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS vs. DET.

Prior to last night, the Dodgers had been 54-0 in 2018 when leading by 4+ runs at any point in a game (regular season and postseason).

IN A PINCH: The Red Sox didn’t record their 2nd hit of last night’s game until there were 2 outs in the 7th inning, when Mitch Moreland delivered a pinch-hit, 3-run HR that cut the Dodgers’ lead to 1 run (4-3).

Moreland’s 3-run shot was the Sox’ 2nd pinch-hit HR of the series (also Eduardo Núñez in Game 1)...The only other teams ever to hit multiple pinch-hit homers in a World Series are the 1975 Red Sox and 1959 Dodgers.

The Sox have 7 pinch-hit RBI in the World Series (Moreland-3, Núñez-3, Devers-1), tied with the 1947 Dodgers for the most ever in a Fall Classic.

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM: With Mitch Moreland’s pinch-hit HR last night, the Red Sox became the 4th team in MLB history to hit 4+ HR from the No. 9 spot in the bat-ting order in a single postseason (Bradley-2, Moreland-1, Vázquez-1)...The other teams to do so are the 2002 Angels, 2014 Royals, and 2016 Cubs (4 each).

PEARCE THE SKY: Steve Pearce tied last night’s game at 4-4 with a solo HR in the 8th inning, then added a 3-run double in the 9th to give the Red Sox an 8-4 lead...Those were the first 2 World Series hits of his career.

Pearce is the 3rd Red Sox player with at least 1 HR and 4 RBI in a World Series game, joining Carl Yastrzemski (1967 Game 2) and David Ortiz (2004 Game 1).

In Game 3 of the ALCS at Minute Maid Park, Pearce broke a 2-2 tie in the 6th inning with a solo HR that held up as the game-winning RBI.

CRAZY EIGHTS: The Red Sox have hit a game-tying HR in the 8th inning in each of the last 2 games (Bradley in Game 3, Pearce in Game 4)...They are the 2nd team in World Series history to hit a game-tying HR in the 8th inning or later in back-to-back games, joining the 2001 Yankees (Games 4-5).

FOREVER AND DEVERS: Rafael Devers broke a 4-4 tie last night with a pinch-hit RBI single in the 9th inning...Having just turned 22 years old on 10/24, Devers became the youngest player to record a go-ahead RBI in the 9th inning or later of a World Series game since Edgar Renteria in Game 7 of the 1997 Fall Classic.

Devers became just the 6th different player (8th time) to record a pinch-hit RBI in a World Series game at the age of 22 or younger (last: Milt May in 1971)...Devers is the youngest player ever to hit a pinch-hit, go-ahead RBI in the 9th inning or later in the World Series.

Devers has 14 RBI in 14 career postseason games...In his last 12 playoff games, he has posted a .361/.439/.611 batting line (13-for-36, 3 HR).
