Four-run lead vanishes, putting LA in 3-1 hole

The Red Sox's pitching plan was ripped to pieces by the mind-bending, time-shredding exercise that was the 18-inning Game 3 of this World Series. But their relentlessness remained very much intact. Scoring all nine of their runs from the seventh inning on, with four RBIs from Steve Pearce, the short-on-sleep-but-long-on-life Sox deflated and defeated the Dodgers, 9-6, in Game 4 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium and are back in a commanding and mathematically momentous position in this best-of-seven set.
