Dodgers vs. Red Sox: TV Coverage, Start Time for 2018 World Series Game 2

Joel ReuterOct 24, 2018

The Boston Red Sox took Game 1 of the 2018 World Series with an 8-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.

Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale were both chased after four innings in a game that was hyped as a potential pitcher's duel, and plenty more offense is likely forthcoming in this series.

The Red Sox banged out 11 hits in the opener, including a 4-for-5 performance from Andrew Benintendi who scored three runs out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup.

The Red Sox were unable to take a 2-0 series lead in the ALDS and ALCS, as they left Fenway Park with both those series knotted at 1-1. After tonight's Game 2, the series moves to Los Angeles for the next two games (and a third if necessary).

In his first career start at Fenway, left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu will look to do what ace Clayton Kershaw couldn't in the opener: quiet the Boston offense.

The Dodgers will hope they can get on the board early before Boston starter David Price can settle in. Third baseman Justin Turner was able to single three times in Game 1, although the Dodgers' only extra-base hit was Matt Kemp's solo home run in the second.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox will look to designated hitter J.D. Martinez to build on his solid play from Game 1, when he managed two RBI and reached base three times.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will hope his bullpen (three earned runs in Game 1) can hold up long enough to bring in closer Kenley Jansen and allow Los Angeles to head home with the series tied.

Prediction: Dodgers 6, Red Sox 4
