Well, that Game 3 was fun, historic, tiring... could you do us all a favor, Red Sox and Dodgers? Please play Game 4 in nine innings, and maybe in, oh, around three hours. Not too much to ask, right?
Thanks!
Lineups!

Three of these starting players didn’t start Game 3 (Andrew Benintendi, Steve Pearce, Eduardo Nunez, though Nunez played quite a bit Friday night, and probably is pretty banged up from Game 3).

It’s the Dodgers’ “in order by position” lineup (with a minor modification) that we saw in Game 6 of the NLCS.
Pitching matchup
Eduardo Rodriguez (Red Sox) vs. Rich Hill (Dodgers)
Fun fact about today’s Boston starter:
Eduardo Rodriguez will be the first pitcher to start a #WorldSeries game after pitching in relief the previous day since Firpo Marberry for the Washington Senators in 1924. #RedSox
