The Boston Red Sox produced a stunning late rally to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-6 and move to the brink of their ninth World Series crown on Saturday.
First baseman Steve Pearce smashed a game-tying home run in the eighth inning and then belted a three-run double in the top of the ninth to cap a superb fightback from Boston, who now lead the best-of-seven series 3-1.
The Red Sox, who can clinch the Major League Baseball crown with victory in game five at Dodger Stadium on Sunday, had earlier trailed 4-0 after Yasiel Puig’s three-run homer put the Dodgers ahead in the sixth inning.
