RED SOX NOTES (CONTINUED)Red Sox Game Notes Page 2

GOLDEN GLOVES: The 2018 Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalists were announced yesterday, with 5 players represent-ing the Red Sox: LF Andrew Benintendi, CF Jackie Bradley Jr., RF Mookie Betts, 1B Mitch Moreland, and 2B Ian Kinsler.

Betts has won 2 Gold Gloves (2016-17), and Kinsler (2016) and Moreland (2016) have won 1 each...The last Sox player to win the award in 3 consecutive years was Dwight Evans (5 straight, 1981-85).

The Sox’ record for most Gold Glove Award winners in a single season is 3 (1968, 1979, 2011).

J.D. POWER: J.D. Martinez has 13 RBI in 11 games this post-season...He has recorded at least 1 hit and 1 RBI in each of his last 5 postseason games, tied for the longest such streak in Red Sox history (also Kevin Youkilis in 2007, Trot Nixon from 2003-04, and Nomar Garciaparra from 1998-99).

In 2017, Martinez played in 5 games at Dodger Stadium between the regular season and postseason, going 9-for-22 (.409) with 5 HR...On 9/4/17, he became the 18th player in MLB history to hit 4 HR in a game, homering in the 4th (off Rich Hill), 7th (Pedro Báez), 8th (Josh Fields), and 9th (Wilmer Font) innings.

THE PLACES YOU’LL GO: In 5 road games this postseason, J.D. Martinez is 7-for-17 (.412) with a .520 OBP, 6 BB, and 1 SO.

Martinez has hit safely in each of his 9 career postseason games on the road, going 13-for-33 (.394) with 4 HR...Only 4 players have hit safely in each of their first 10 career postseason games on the road, most recently Lenny Dykstra from 1986-93 (first 15).

Martinez has recorded at least 1 RBI in 8 of his 9 career postseason road games, including all 5 in 2018...The only other Red Sox ever with at least 1 hit and 1 RBI in 5 straight road playoff games is David Ortiz (5, 2007-08).

Martinez has also drawn a walk in each of his road games this postseason...He is the only player in MLB history with at least 1 hit, 1 BB, and 1 RBI in 5 consecutive road games in the postseason.

COAST TO COAST: The distance between Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium (approx. 2,588 miles) is the longest ever between any 2 venues of World Series opponents.

This is the 1st time the Sox have traveled to the West Coast for a World Series...Prior to 2018, their longest trip for a Fall Classic was to Colorado in 2007.

SIGNATURE MOMENTS: In Game 3 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium, Brock Holt became the 1st player in MLB history to hit for the cycle in a postseason game...The Sox won that game, 16-1, the largest margin of vic-tory by a road team in postseason history.

In Games 2-4 of the ALCS, Jackie Bradley Jr. became the 1st player in MLB history to have 3 straight multi-RBI games in the postseason from the No. 8 or 9 spots in the batting order.

In Game 1 of the World Series, Andrew Benintendi went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and 3 runs scored...He is the only player ever to record 4+ hits and score 3+ runs in his 1st career World Series game.

In his 1st first career World Series PA, Eduardo Núñez gave the Sox an 8-4 lead in the 7th inning with a pinch-hit, 2-out, 3-run HR.

NATIONAL AFFAIR: The Red Sox went 16-4 vs. NL teams in 2018...They are 37-9 (.804) in their last 46 Interleague games, including 27-5 (.844) in their last 32...The Sox are unbeaten in their last 13 series vs. NL teams (10-0-3).

LEAD THE WAY: Alex Cora became the 3rd individual in the Expansion Era (1961-present) to lead a team to the World Series in his 1st season as an MLB manager, joining Bob Brenly (2001 D-Backs) and Ralph Houk (1961 Yankees)...Both of those clubs went on to win the series.

Only 4 people have won the World Series in their 1st season as an MLB manager: Brenly, Houk, Eddie Dyer (1946 Cardinals), and Bucky Harris (1924 Senators).

Cora is the 6th manager to lead the Red Sox to the World Series in his 1st season with the club, joining Jake Stahl (1912), Ed Barrow (1918), Dick Williams (1967), Terry Francona (2004), and John Farrell (2013).

ALUMNI RELATIONS: This is the 1st time both managers in the World Series played for both teams (source: Elias)...Alex Cora appeared in 684 games with LAD (1998-2004) and 301 games with BOS (2005-08)...Dave Roberts played in 302 games for LAD (2002-04) and 45 for BOS (2004).

Cora and Roberts were teammates with LAD in 2004, appearing in the same starting lineup 52 times.

PRICE CHECK: David Price has made 6 quality starts in his postseason career, most recently in Game 2 of the World Series (6.0 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 SO) and Game 5 of the ALCS (6.0 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 9 SO, 0 BB)...In 4 starts this postseason, he has held opponents to a .206 AVG (14-for-68).

Price became the 1st pitcher in franchise history make consecutive postseason starts in which he threw 6.0+ innings with 5+ SO and 3 or fewer hits allowed.

Fenway Park has hosted 33 World Series games, including 2 for the Boston Braves in 1914...There have been 24 World Series games played at Dodger Stadium.
