Description
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher, Chris Sale, throws the first pitch of game one of the World Series to Los Angeles lead off hitter Brian Dozier. SALE pitched only four innings, allowing five hits, 3 runs win 7 strike outs, but was not the pitcher of record. The Red Sox went on to win 8-4 on the strength of their relief pitching.
Check out these 7 selected images from Game One of the World Series won by the Red Sox 8-4. The Star of the game was Red Sox third baseman, EDUARD NUNEZ, who hit a three-run pinch-hit home run in the 7th inning to lead the Red Sox to victory. Red Sox relievers, particularly NATHAN EOVALDI and closer, CRAIG KIMBREL, were outstanding and preserved the victory for the Red Sox.
ANDREW BENINTENDI went 4 for 5.
