The Boston Red Sox completed one of the greatest seasons in baseball history Sunday night, dispatching the Los Angeles Dodgers in the same fashion they did the Houston Astros, New York Yankees and all comers in 2018. The Red Sox's 108-win season was merely a prelude to their running roughshod through the postseason, a trek capped with a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers and a World Series championship. Game 5 followed the same script as so many Red Sox games this year: lots of home runs, stellar defense and superior pitching.
