Mitch Moreland and Steve Pearce hit home runs, and Rafael Devers had a go-ahead single in a five-run ninth inning as the Boston Red Sox got their offense back on track to move one win from a World Series title with a 9-6 victory in Game 4 over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Red Sox took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven-series and are one victory away from their fourth World Series title since 2004. Game 5 is Sunday night in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers appeared to be on their way to getting even in the series with four runs in the sixth inning to take a 4-0 lead. The Red Sox answered quickly, though, when Moreland hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter. The homer came off Dodgers right-hander Ryan Madson, who has allowed all seven of his inherited runners in the series to score.

Using the same strategy that nearly haunted them in Game 3 on Friday, the Dodgers called on closer Kenley Jansen in the eighth inning. And for the second consecutive game, the Red Sox delivered a game-tying home run, this one from Pearce to even the score 4-4.

The Red Sox went ahead for good in the ninth inning. Brock Holt hit a one-out double off reliever Dylan Floro, and pinch hitter Devers followed with an RBI single for a 5-4 lead. The Red Sox put the game out of reach with Pearce's three-run double off Kenta Maeda, followed by Xander Bogaerts' RBI single.

Los Angeles scored two in the bottom of the ninth off Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel on an Enrique Hernandez home run but was unable to get any closer.
