World Series game 2. Yankees got a home run in the 3rd inning and scored another run in the 9th. They left the bases loaded. Dodgers won 4-2.
The Dodgers beat the Yankees 4-2 in World Series game 3 tonight and are one win away from a championship. The odds are against the Yankees. Of the three sports that have a best-of-seven championship series – MLB, NBA, NHL – only one team has ever won a championship after losiing the first three games. The Toronto Maple Leafs won the 1942 Stanley Cup after losing their first three games against the Detroit Red Wings.
The Dodgers' Freddie Freeman has set a major league record for hitting a home run in six consecutive World Series games. Tonight he hit a two-run home run in the first inning of World Series game 4. He has homered in each of the four games. While with the Braves in 2021, he homered in the final two World Series games against the Astros. The Braves won that Series, four games to two.
And, oh yeah, the Yankees beat the Dodgers tonight, 11-4. Game 5 begins at 8:08 PM Eastern time October 30.
The Dodgers are the 2024 World Series champions after beating the Yankees 7-6 tonight in game 5. Shohei Ohtani was a major disappointment. He had only two hits in the five games. In game 5, he struck out with the bases loaded. He wasn't the only disappointment, though. In games 4 and 5, the Dodgers had a span of 27 at-bats without a hit. But they.....are the champions, my friend.
Freddie Freeman was named World Series MVP. He had 4 home runs and 12 RBIs.
Shohei Ohtani was named National League MVP. He and Frank Robinson are the only players to win MVP in both leagues.
