Josh Beckett struck out nine and allowed only one run over seven innings, and every player in the Red Sox’ starting lineup contributed at least one hit or one RBI as Boston crushed Colorado, 13-1, in Game One of the 103rd World Series.
The Red Sox:
-- Become the first team in history to record its third consecutive 10-run game in the postseason.
-- Set a franchise record for runs in a World Series game, with 13.
-- Tied a World Series record for doubles in a game (8) and doubles in an inning (3, in the fifth)
-- Tied a World Series record for extra-base hits in a game (9).
-- Won Game One by a bigger margin (12 runs) than any team in history, breaking the record of 11 set by the 1959 White Sox and tied by the 1996 Braves. A cautionary note for the Red Sox: Chicago and Atlanta both lost the World Series.
