Members of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate on the field after winning Game 5 to win the 2024 World Series presented by Capital One between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Oct. 30, 2024. The Los Angeles Dodgers won their second World Series championship in five seasons, overcoming a five-run deficit with the help of three Yankees defensive miscues and rallying on sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in the eighth inning to beat New York 7-6 in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, Alex Verdugo's RBI single chased Jack Flaherty in the second and Giancarlo Stanton's third-inning homer against Ryan Brasier built a 5-0 Yankees lead. But errors by Judge in center and Anthony Volpe at shortstop, combined with pitcher Gerrit Cole failing to cover first on Betts' grounder, helped Los Angeles score five unearned runs in the fifth. After Stanton's sixth-inning sacrifice fly put the Yankees back ahead 6-5, the Dodgers loaded the bases against loser Tommy Kahnle in the eighth before the sacrifice flies off Luke Weaver.

The Dodgers got their looks against the Yankees in this series, even if there were times when they struggled to capitalize. It took the Yankees fumbling on defense in the fifth inning just to allow the Dodgers back into Game 5. The previous time came in the 1956 World Series when the Yankees blew a five-run lead against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 2. The downside of the Dodgers’ bullpen game in Game 4The Dodgers’ handling of Game 4 was not illogical in a vacuum. They had a 3-0 lead series lead.

An eighth-inning rally capped by sacrifice flies by second baseman Gavin Lux and outfielder Mookie Betts put the Dodgers in front. This title, the eighth in franchise history, can stand beside the Dodgers’ trophy from the pandemic-shortened season in 2020. The precedent feels preposterous until you consider the current Dodgers who will one day join them in the Hall of Fame. “Mark,” he told Freeman, “wants to win really bad.” That desire became clear to Ohtani when he met with the Dodgers. After Freeman launched his grand, Gibsonian walkoff in Game 1 against the Yankees, the Dodgers got the job done.

For every team faced with an early demise in the World Series, that’s the vision: one more day of summer to play with your friends. “We lost Game 3 and we said, ‘Hey, who doesn’t want to make history?’ I know I love making history. Eight years ago with the Chicago Cubs, Rizzo played another Game 5 on Halloween eve, needing a win to extend the World Series. Three of them were new to this World Series and covered seven innings. He lived the fantasy of every New York-born kid of his generation: a shortstop in pinstripes, starring in the World Series.

Volpe gave the Yankees a lead in this series for the first time since Game 1. From there, the bullpen hung tough and held off the Dodgers long enough to force Game 5 on Wednesday in the Bronx. The Yankees became only the fourth team in baseball history and the first since 1970 to avoid a sweep in the World Series when down, 3-0. From there, the Dodgers appeared on the verge of the sweep, before Volpe took Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson deep. Before the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts discussed the importance of length from two rookie pitchers, Ben Casparius and Landon Knack.

But in reality, the Yankees’ embarrassing performance in the World Series is a systemwide breakdown. They’re not getting away with it against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. It’s been a rough World Series for the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm and Aaron Judge. And the Yankees actually should be capable of winning one with the Dodgers planning a bullpen game Tuesday night. Defensive miscues by right fielder Juan Soto and second baseman Gleyber Torres haunted the Yankees in Game 1.

They applied more pressure early in Game 3, and now they’re a victory away from winning the World Series. Except when the fastball is playing like it did in the World Series on Monday night. In the first inning, Buehler started Judge with a fastball over the middle that he was late on. New York’s bats go silent once againThe Yankees’ offense has scored seven runs through the first three games of the World Series. The Yankees’ inability to hit the ball over the fence like the Dodgers have so far is one of the reasons they’re down 3-0 in the World Series.

Freddie Freeman played Kirk Gibson this time, lashing Nestor Cortes’ first pitch over the right field fence for the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. Will Smith made him pay with a sacrifice fly to right field in the next at-bat to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. In the fifth inning, Soto misplayed a Hernández triple down the right-field line, which Statcast estimated had a 5 percent catch probability. Then, in the eighth inning, Ohtani blasted a double off the right-field wall. For all of his offensive success, Soto’s biggest weakness remains his defense, which cost the Yankees in Game 1.

After his final swing in a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series, he only had to trot. He swatted a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam on Friday night, a slight improvement on Gibson’s legendary walk-off in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Dodgers starter Jack Flaherty kept the Yankees off the board until Giancarlo Stanton hit a monstrous, two-run homer in the sixth. The season of “Fernandomania” coincided with the last time the Dodgers and Yankees met in the World Series. The lumber landed on the World Series logo.

The Yankees will host Games 1 and 2 of this ALCS and, if needed, Games 6 and 7. Yankees veterans show upWhen the Yankees needed them most, their veterans finally showed up en masse. Then the baseball fell to earth, dropping harmlessly into the glove of Yankees right fielder Juan Soto, just in front of the fence. According to the official scorer at Kauffman Stadium, the wind was blowing from right field to left field at 6 mph at first pitch. Not at Kauffman Stadium, where the power alleys are 387 feet from home plate and straight-away right field is more than 370 feet away.
