They finally got it in the eighth inning of Tuesday’s 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series.
Gleyber Torres provided the big blow with a three-run homer, but before him, Alex Verdugo had the key at-bat: An 11-pitch battle with Brent Honeywell that Verdugo finally won with a ground ball that scored Anthony Volpe from third for an insurance run.
Verdugo fell behind 0-2 before fouling off six pitches and taking two balls before hitting a ground ball to second base.
The infield was playing in, but Volpe got a strong jump from third base that allowed him to score for the 7-4 lead.
