celebration

The Boston Red Sox have won the 2018 World Series, their fourth championship in the last 15 years. The Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games, winning the final game at Dodger Stadium. It was a back-and-forth series, with each team winning two games at home. The deciding game was a nail-biter, with the Sox eventually winning by a score of 5-1.

The victory is especially sweet for Red Sox fans, as it comes just one year after the team’s heart-wrenching loss to the Houston Astros in seven games. That defeat left many fans wondering if the Sox would ever win another title. But this year, led by MVP candidate Mookie Betts and ace pitcher Chris Sale, Boston was simply too much for the rest of the league.

The Red Sox will now begin preparations for next season, when they will once again be among the favorites to win it all. For now, though, they can enjoy this sweet victory and savor every moment of it.
