THE BOSTON GLOBE (RED SOX DYNASTY REPORT)

BOSTONA, MA - The Red Sox, riding high off a home win, would start the game tonight looking to put the Dodgers in a 2-0 hole. Unfortunately for Boston they would have to go through Zach Greinke, and Shelby Miller would get the nod to start Game 2. Miller has been excellent this year, finishing the season 15-8 with a 2.35ERA a tick lower than Chris Archer (2.36), and most expected him to handle the Dodgers.

The game was very defensive right from the start, with both teams scooping up grounders and making easy throws for outs. Boston scored first in the 2nd, grinding out a 1-0 on a Shane Victorino sac fly after a Napoli triple. They made it 2-0 in the 3rd thanks to a Jackie Bradley Jr. RBI single that was ruled a fielder's choice.

Miller looked to be cruising through the lineup with a start fitting of Archer, striking out 6 after only three innings. Alex Guerrero finally broke the shut out for Los Angeles with a solo-HR in the 4th, but Miller got through the inning with two more strikeouts. The HR must have rattled Miller, despite getting out of the 4th, because he melted down on the 5th. Brian McCann reached 3rd and Guerrero evened the score with a 6-3 ground out that brought in McCann. With Dee Gordon now on 2nd, Yasiel Puig drove him in with an RBI single. Swihart nearly tagged him out, but Gordon was too quick.

Miller went 6 innings, striking out 12, but Greinke and the rest of LA's pitcher were better. The Red Sox regained their early season form and just couldn't get anything going offensively. Kenley Jansen came in for the 9th and struck out the side to even the series 1-1.
