The Boston Red Sox are the 2018 World Series champions, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5 to 1 Sunday night at Dodgers Stadium and wrapping up an impressive 4-1 takedown. The championship is the fourth by Boston in this century after a 20th century drought that dated to 1918. It is their first championship since 2013 and caps a year that saw Boston win 108 games in the regular season and triumph over the New York Yankees and Houston Astros in earlier playoff competition.
