Despite the Dodgers and Red Sox going punch-for-punch for a good portion of the 2018 World Series Opener, pinch-hitter Eduardo Nunez crushed an Alex Wood slider in the bottom of the seventh inning, stretching the Boston lead to four and ultimately securing an 8-4 victory.
Andrew Benintendi also went 4-for-5 and scored three runs, while J.D. Martinez went 2-for-3 with two very timely RBI to spearhead the Boston attack.
The Red Sox got off to a quick start when Mookie Betts lined a single to center off Los Angeles starter Clayton Kershaw in the bottom of the first frame.
