LOS ANGELES — Wow.

Wow, wow, wow. Wow.

Max Muncy’s solo home run to lead off the bottom of the 18th inning gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3-2 walk-off win and ended a seven hour, twenty minute marathon that now stands as the longest game in MLB postseason history.

The dramatic finish spoiled a brilliant effort by Red Sox right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who entered in the 12th inning and threw six scoreless before allowing the 18th-inning blast. The Dodgers’ victory early Saturday morning cut the Red Sox’ lead in the series to 2-1 and put Los Angeles in a promising position for Game 4, which Eovaldi had been slated to start. And it capped a tense, wild, unforgettable contest.

Here are nine details you may have already forgotten from the Dodgers’ historic 18-inning win.

1. Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts combined to go 0-for-15

It’s true. Bogaerts became the first player in postseason history to go 0-for-8 in a game, and Betts – the presumptive AL MVP – dodged the same fate only by drawing an intentional walk in the 13th inning. Dodgers pitching was strong all evening, night and morning, and the first four spots in the Boston batting order combined to go 0-for-28 with two walks and 12 strikeouts.

2. Clayton Kershaw had a pinch-hit at-bat

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was long out of bench bats when pitcher Julio Urias’ turn in the order came up in the bottom of the 17th. So Roberts turned to his ace Kershaw, who handles the bat well by the standards of starting pitchers. Kershaw managed to hit a hard line drive, but it landed in Betts’ glove.

3. Boston switched outfield alignments six times

Playing in a National League park forced Alex Cora to use J.D. Martinez in left field. Martinez is not considered a good defensive outfielder while fully healthy and has been nursing an ankle injury, so to get the most of his best defenders, Cora began switching outfield alignments in the eighth inning. Martinez left the game in the 10th, but Cora kept it up with Brock Holt in the game. Against pull-heavy righties, the Red Sox shifted Jackie Bradley Jr. to left and Betts to center. Against lefties, Betts moved back to right, Bradley to center, and Martinez or Holt to left.

4. Once upon a time, Walker Buehler made a great start

It’s hard to remember now, but the game started with a spectacular effort from rookie Dodgers righty Walker Buehler. The 24-year-old was making only his 27th start at the big-league level, but he touched triple-digits with his fastball and kept Red Sox hitters off balance with well-placed cutters and a handful of slow breaking balls. Buehler allowed only two hits and no walks in seven scoreless innings while striking out seven, throwing a career-high 108 pitches in the effort.

“I think that certain people can handle a moment like this and understand what was at stake tonight,” Roberts said after the game, when asked about Buehler. “And we needed his best effort. And we needed him to go deeper than their starter, log some innings. And some guys run from it. Some guys can’t answer the bell. But this guy, he’s got an overt confidence, a quiet confidence, a little combo. But he’s got tremendous stuff. And he lives for moments like this.”

5. Jackie Bradley Jr. had another huge hit

Bradley won ALCS MVP honors despite having only three total hits in the five-game series because all three drove home runs in big spots. He kept it up in the eighth inning Friday, spoiling Buehler’s chance at earning a win with a home run off Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen. Five of Bradley’s seven hits this October have gone for extra bases.

6. Manny Machado hit a single off the left-field wall

After catching criticism for his lack of effort on the basepaths in the NLCS, Dodgers infielder and pending free agent Manny Machado said he was “not the type of player that’s going to be ‘Johnny Hustle’” because it’s “not (his) cup of tea.” He proved it again in sixth on Friday, when he roped a long drive to left field. Machado, apparently thinking the ball was bound for the bleachers, took his time leaving the batter’s box and had to settle for a single when it caromed off the wall.

7. Ian Kinsler’s costly error

At 36, Kinsler’s hardly the player he was in his prime, but the former Gold Glover has long been one of the league’s best defenders at second base. But nothing seems to be going Kinsler’s way this postseason, and his 13th inning error cost Boston its best shot at a win. With two out, a runner on second and the Red Sox clinging to a one-run lead, Yasiel Puig hit a slow roller toward Kinsler. Kinsler appeared on shaky footing when he scooped it up and fired toward first, and the ball sailed well wide of its target. Max Muncy scored from second on the overthrow to tie the game.

8. Cody Bellinger’s game-saving throw

A Red Sox’ victory appeared a fait accompli in the top of the 10th, with two on, one out and Eduardo Nunez pinch-hitting for the whiff-prone Rafael Devers. Nunez put the ball in play, but got under it and produced a lazy fly ball. Bellinger lined himself up perfectly to catch it and fire home, but his throw drew catcher Austin Barnes several steps up the third-base line. It reached Barnes a moment before baserunner Kinsler did, completing the double play that killed Boston’s burgeoning rally.

9. The sad saga of Eduardo Nunez

Poor Nuni. After the frequently-hobbled infielder popped out in his pinch-hitting appearance in the 10th, he remained in the game at third base for Boston. His next turn at the plate came with Brock Holt on first and no outs in the top of the 13th. With Holt stealing second, Scott Alexander’s pitch got away from catcher Austin Barnes, allowing Holt to take the base easily. But the ball bounced in front of Nunez, who collided with Barnes while trying to get out of the way, flipped over the catcher, and remained on the ground as the Red Sox’ training staff came out to check on him.

“We didn’t have any more players, so I didn’t have any choice,” he said after the game. “I kept playing.”

Since the Red Sox were out of position players, Nunez stayed in the game and hit a weak dribbler toward the first base side. Muncy, playing first, and Alexander both bid for the ball as Nunez hustled out down the line. Alexander scooped it up as second baseman Enrique Hernandez sprinted to cover first before Nunez got there. The throw got away from Hernandez as Nunez crossed first base and fell over, again, in pain.

He again stayed in the game, hobbling from first to third on a Sandy Leon double later in the inning but finishing the frame stranded on base. In the bottom of the inning, Nunez tumbled into the stands making a catch on a foul ball. In the sixteenth, Nunez fell down again while corralling a Puig pop-up on the pitchers’ mound. Nunez gave up his body multiple times over in pursuit of a win, but he could not throw himself in front of Muncy’s 18th-inning walk-off shot.
