NEW YORK — The hometown kid came to the rescue on Tuesday, saving the New York Yankees from elimination in the World Series.
Freddie Freeman set a record in defeat, becoming the first player to hit homers in six consecutive World Series games, a streak that began with Atlanta in 2021.
Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers never got much going and the Yankees pulled away with a late offensive explosion.
AdvertisementThrough four games this series, the Dodgers have managed 12 runs off Yankees starters in 16 innings.
In 19 2/3 innings against the Yankees bullpen, they’ve scored six — and just one since their furious comeback in Game 1.
