J.D.’s decisive knock derails LA, puts Sox up 2-0

Channeling the bewitching brilliance in two-out situations that has defined their overpowering October run, the Red Sox mounted a three-run rally against Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and reliever Ryan Madson to take a lead they would not squander in Wednesday’s 4-2 victory at Fenway Park in Game 2 of this World Series. Among the many reasons the Red Sox now have a commanding 2-0 edge in this best-of-seven set, their prowess when the out count has them in a corner has been the biggest difference-maker.
