The Red Sox win their 9th Championship and 4th since 2004 by defeating the Dodgers, 5 – 1, in Game 5 of the World Series. David Price pitches 7 strong innings after allowing a lead-off homer to David Freese, but not before Boston had taken a 2 – 0 lead on a homer by Steve Pearce off Clayton Kershaw. Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez and Pearce all hit solo shots later in the game to put the score out of reach, while Joe Kelly and Chris Sale combine to strike out the last six Dodgers batters in order. Pearce is named winner of the World Series Most Valuable Player Award.
2018 – Mookie Betts of the Red Sox hits the first cycle in the majors this season, completing the feat with a solo homer in the 9th, but it’s in vain as Toronto hands Boston a rare defeat, 8 – 5.
Mookie Betts hits three solo homers to lead the Red Sox to a 5 – 4 win over the Royals. All three blasts come off Danny Duffy, with the last one breaking a 4 – 4 tie in the 7th. It is already the second three-homer game for Betts this season and the fourth of his career, tying him for the franchise record held by Ted Williams. At 26, he is the youngest player to have four such games.
OF Mookie Betts of the Red Sox wins the first salary arbitration filing to be decided this off-season and will earn $10.5 million, a significant raise over his previous salary of $950,000. He will still be a huge bargain, as he will win the MVP Award and lead the Sox to a World Series title.
