BOSTON -- The Red Sox and Dodgers brought star-studded teams into a highly-anticipated showdown in the 2018 World Series. The Red Sox won the battle in five games while the Dodgers won two titles in the years since then. The teams are separated by just five wins this season as they began a three-game series at Fenway Park on Friday.

Buehler’s former Dodgers teammates presented him with his ring and gold-lettered championship jersey on the field at Fenway Park before Friday’s game.

Walker Buehler was in the Dodgers organization for 10 years, a third of his life. He was a two-time All-Star, helped win two World Series and started 18 postseason games.
