The Boston Red Sox lost their first game of the regular season.
After that, nearly everything went their way.
They were the best team in baseball throughout the regular
season and they completed a thrilling run through the postseason
to capture the franchise’s ninth World Series title when they
beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-1, in a decisive Game 5 on
Sunday.
