Kenta Maeda was tasked with getting one out, but four ninth-inning runs scored before he could do so and it cost the Los Angeles Dodgers dearly in a 9-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox in World Series Game 4 on Saturday.
The win gives the Red Sox, who trailed 4-0 after six innings at Dodger Stadium, a chance to clinch the best-of-seven series in Sunday's Game 5.
Maeda who had pitched two scoreless innings in the Dodgers' 3-2, 18-inning win on Friday, entered the game in the ninth to face Steve Pearce with two outs and the bases loaded. Pearce's eighth-inning home run off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen had tied the game 4-4.
