But the Big Red Machine erased a 3-0 deficit in Game 7 and hummed to victory. 1986 -- The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead over the Mets to Boston and blew it. They held a 3-2 lead in games and runs in Game 6, and blew it in the eighth, then built a 5-3 lead in the 10th and blew the game on a tricky grounder to Bill Buckner at first base. Game 7? They squandered a 3-0 lead and cursed the Bambino.
