Tonight, Game 5 in the 2018 World Series: Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This is only the second time the two teams have faced each other in the World Series. The first time was in 1916, more than one-hundred years ago, when the two teams were known as the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Robins.
The record for the most innings in a World Series Game was set in 1916 at fourteen innings in Game 2. This year that record was broken in Game 3 when the two teams went head-to-head for eighteen innings. Boston won the game on Monday, October 9, 1916, 2-1, over the Robins in the game played at Braves Field in Boston, Massachusetts. Los Angeles won the game on Saturday, October 26, 2018, 3-2, over the Red Sox in the game played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Game 5 and both teams have been pushing forth with their best. And here we go: first pitch in four minutes.
