World Series - Game 3
Red Sox 2, Reds 0
Game 3 was odd, risky and bold all at the same time. Facing a 2-0 hole and knowing they had the next three games at home in Hopkins, the Sox went ahead anyway and decided to play the third game that same night in Eagan, to allow Jolly Red the opportunity to play one more game before heading out of town again.
The gamble paid off as the Sox rebounded with a 2-0 win, keyed by solo homers from Tugboat and Lil' Randall, and the lockdown pitching of The Man.
The Man scattered a pair of hits and 2 walks while whiffing 11 Reds hitters. Tuggy had 2 of the 3 hits allowed by Zack, who fell victim to the longball in defeat, despite striking out a dozen Sox.
(There is no broadcast video for Game 3.)
