The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman became the first player in MLB history to record a home run in six straight World Series games when he cranked a two-run homer out of Yankee Stadium in Game 4 on Tuesday. AdvertisementThe hit, which gave the Dodgers an immediate 2-0 pad, was Freeman’s fourth of the 2024 World Series. His previous two World Series home runs came in Game 5 and Game 6 of the 2021 finals. He's the first player in MLB history with six consecutive #WorldSeries games with a home run. After taking the commanding 3-0 series lead on Monday, Freeman was told he tied the World Series record by homering in five consecutive games.

Let’s do that now, because here’s what I think we’ve been watching:A World Series with possibly eight future Hall of Famers. So no World Series is ever catching the 1932 Series, when an incredible 13 eventual Hall of Famers took the field. How about saying you were there when Freddie Freeman took over a World Series in his own Freddie-esque way? And it looks exactly like that dude who trots — or sometimes limps — out to first base every night in this World Series. • Easy as 1-2-3 — We’re three games into this World Series, and Freeman has homered in all three of those games.

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.

☆ 20 Years of Impossible Choices in ‘Saw’
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Annie Aguiar | Joyce Ho | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +9 min

It can be hard to remember two decades later that the original “Saw” was less interested in gore than morality. In “Saw,” Cary Elwes’s character verbalizes the tension and appeal of the franchise: “He doesn’t want us to cut through our chains. “I’m going to try something else you haven’t seen before.”The classic tropes within “Saw” — serial killers, haunted detectives, creepy puppets — are mashed together and inverted around the undeniable binary of its core choice. In “Cube” (1997), an offbeat Canadian science fiction horror film, prisoners in a mysterious jail travel through rooms rigged with traps. Wan never directed another “Saw” movie, while Whannell contributed to “Saw II” and wrote the screenplay for “Saw III.”In the decades since “Saw” was released, Wan has directed tentpole franchise entries like “Aquaman” (2018) and “Furious 7” (2015).

“Four more wins!”After a 4-2 victory on Monday over the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the World Series, the Dodgers are on the doorstep of a championship, one far different than the title marred by COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The first World Series game at Yankee Stadium since 2009 ended as the last two did in Chavez Ravine, with the Dodgers exultant and the Yankees lamenting missed chances. No team in World Series history has overcome a 3-0 deficit. “Hopefully we can go be this amazing story and shock the world,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “If he is able to play, willing to play, he’s going to play,” Roberts said on Sunday afternoon.

☆ Shohei Ohtani to play in Game 3 of World Series after shoulder injury

NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani is expected to play in Game 3 of the World Series, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Sunday. Ohtani was expected to receive an MRI before Game 3 to determine the severity of the shoulder injury he suffered in Game 2 on Saturday. Roberts said postgame that Ohtani had suffered a subluxation, which is a partial dislocation, of his left shoulder. Through two World Series games, the Dodgers have secured a 2-0 lead largely in spite of Ohtani, who has hit 1-for-8 as the team’s designated hitter. Ohtani became the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season with 54 and 59, respectively.

Yamamoto, making his World Series debut Saturday night, allowed only one hit in 6 1/3 innings, a homer by Soto. If Ohtani misses time during the Series, the Dodgers can adjust by moving Betts to the leadoff spot and making Freeman their DH. After striking out 10 times in 22 plate appearances in the Division Series, Ohtani broke out in the National League Championship Series, batting .364 with a 1.185 OPS.

As the ball was coming down, a fan reached out over the railing and snagged it in his glove. But Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernández flailed his arms in protest, saying the fan interfered with the ball. The controversial play drew comparisons to legendary fan interference call such as Yankees fan Jeffrey Maier at the 1996 ALCS who reached over the stands at Yankee Stadium to aid Derek Jeter’s home run.

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.
