The Los Angeles Dodgers needed a spark after falling into a two-game hole to the Boston Red Sox in the 2018 World Series. Joc Pederson provided that spark Friday night.
Taking Rick Porcello deep in the bottom of the third inning, Pederson put the Dodgers up 1-0 in this pivotal Game 3.

This blast broke an 0-24 mini-slump for Pederson, along with providing the spark the Dodgers needed.
Chances are, Los Angeles is going to need more of that in this game to take down the potent Red Sox.
