In what many thought would be the last game of the World Series, the Yankees fought hard to keep their chances alive for a 28th World Series win after beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers still lead the series 3-1, but the Yankees have an opportunity to shorten the deficit again tonight in the Bronx.

Postseason Dodger favorite Freddie Freeman kicked off the lead for L.A. with a two-run home run in the first inning, making him the first player in Major League Baseball history to homer in six consecutive World Series games; Freeman has hit a HR in every game of the 2024 World Series, including a grand slam in Game 1.

The Yankees quickly answered back with a grand slam from Anthony Volpe in the bottom of the third inning, boosting the Yanks to lead the 5-2, never to fall behind again. L.A.’s Will Smith hit a solo homer in the top of the fifth, only to be matched with a solo shot to right field by Austin Wells in the bottom of thr sixth, boosting the Yankees lead to 6-4.

The lead opened up in the bottom of the eighth when Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer, opening up the lead to 10-4, with the Dodgers unable to come back from such a substantial Yankees leade.

Yankees pitcher Clay Holmes took the win after pitching just one inning, but a critical one, not allowing any hits and King two dodgers in one frame.

The Yankees still have a chance for the comeback on their home field tonight with Game 5 in Yankee Stadium.

After a crushing 4-2 loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series in Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Bombers face a sweep, with Dodgers pitching not allowing any runs until the ninth inning against Judge, Soto and the Yankees.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees did manage to get on the scoreboard with a two-out, two-run home run from Alex Verdugo.

The Dodgers jumped on the Yankees in the top of the first inning with a two-run shot from Freddie Freeman, giving L.A. a 2-0 lead, which only increased in the fourth inning. He’s just 1 of 3 players to hit home runs in the first three games of any World Series in history.

The Dodgers made sure to keep the Yanks off the board when Mookie Betts robbed Jazz Chisholm Jr. of a base hit with a sliding grab in center field in the bottom of the fourth inning. Betts, on the very next play, threw out Giancarlo Stanton at home plate for the last out of the inning to keep the guys in pinstripes from scoring until the very last out of the game.

The Dodgers kept the Yankees off the board with their stellar performance on the mound led by Walker Buehler, who took the W in five innings, with five strikeouts and only allowing two hits and two walks.

The boys from the Bronx have a real battle on their hands to keep their World Series hopes alive in Game 4, which will be played in Yankee Stadium tomorrow.
