The Boston Red Sox were trailing the Dodgers 4-2 entering the eighth inning of Sunday’s rubber match at Fenway Park. With two swings of the bat, Los Angeles’ lead vanished.
Xander Bogaerts led off the inning with a solo shot to left field, making it 4-3. Two pitches later, J.D. Martinez did the same, hitting a bomb to deep right-center field, tying the game at four.

This was the fifth time this season the Red Sox have hit back-to-back homers, and the second time that Bogaerts and Martinez have done so.
