The veteran left hander was sharp from the outset, attacking the strike zone against the power-packed Dodgers lineup and in the fourth inning, when the Dodgers loaded the bases with no one out, he limited the damage to just two runs. "That was a tough inning, it could have spun out of control pretty fast," he told reporters after the game, which gave the favored Red Sox a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Being able to stop it at two runs right there... that was big for us." The 33-year-old, who earned his first career postseason win in 12 starts against the Houston Astros in the deciding game of the ALCS, said the key was to take his time amid the chaos of a World Series game at raucous Fenway Park.
