This Day In Dodgers History: Longest World Series Game Started
On Oct. 26, 2018, the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers began what would become the longest World Series game in MLB history.
The Dodgers, trailing 2-0 in the series, took an early lead in Game 3 on Joc Pederson’s solo home run in the second inning. That score would remain until Jackie Bradley Jr. tied the game with a solo homer of his own in the eighth.
The Red Sox took the lead in the 13th inning behind a leadoff walk and throwing error on an infield single by Eduardo Núñez. The Dodgers were three outs away from a daunting 3-0 series deficit, but the Red Sox then endured a disastrous inning of their own.

2026 World Series: Brewers, Rays Among Longest MLB World Series Droughts
It's a guarantee: when the 2026 postseason ends, a team that has never won the World Series before will be champion. Neither the Milwaukee Brewers nor Tampa Bay Rays have ever won a World Series before, which also means the two organizations have two of the longest championship droughts in MLB.
Let’s look at the 18 teams that have gone at least 20 years without a World Series title; for most, 2026 is already another season without a title, but for the Rays and Brewers there is still the chance that October will deliver a championship.
The last time that the Guardians were World Series champions was 1948. The last-living player from that team, Eddie Robinson, passed away in 2021. The 1948 season was so long ago that the team they defeated, the Braves, were still playing in Boston.
