You would've thought the Boston Red Sox were in a must-win situation.They put everything they had into one of the greatest games — really, two games — in World Series history.Now, even though Boston is still ahead in the World Series, it sure doesn't feel like it.In an epic marathon that lasted a staggering 7 hours and 20 minutes, stretching from Friday night well into Saturday morning, the Red Sox put all their cards on the table and still came away with a losing hand.Max Muncy led off the bottom of the 18th with a walk-off homer, finally finishing off the longest game — in both time and innings — in World Series history. The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged with a 3-2 victory , cutting their deficit in the series to a now-manageable two games to one.Sure, it was only one victory.It felt like so much more.The Red Sox staggered off the field with their pitching staff in shambles, namely because they tried to get seven innings — SEVEN! — from Nathan Eovaldi out of the bullpen.Who will start Game 4?Who knows?It could be Chris Sale, who started the series opener and may have to come back on three days' rest. It could be reliever Drew Pomeranz, the only other Boston pitcher who didn't get in Game 3.Rookie manager Alex Cora played every inning like it was the last.That philosophy may come back to haunt him if this series slips away."The game will dictate the way we move our pieces and our players," Cora said afterward, expressing no regrets. "We knew we had to win tonight. It was a great game."The Dodgers sure came out of the game in much better shape.Rich Hill is all ready to start Game 4. The bullpen is actually in decent shape, even though closer Kenley Jansen and Pedro Baez will likely be unavailable Saturday night after working two innings apiece."It wasn't how we scripted it," manager Dave Roberts said, "but it's a big win for us."___Paul Newberry is a sports columnist for The Associated Press.
