The New York Yankees managed to stay alive in the World Series by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Game 4. Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer gave the Yankees an early lead, which was extended by Anthony Volpe’s grand slam. Despite Los Angeles scoring two runs in the fifth inning, the Yankees continued to add to their lead with a solo homer by Austin Wells. The Dodgers had a chance to tie the game in the seventh but failed to capitalize. In the eighth inning, the Yankees scored five runs, including a three-run homer from Gleyber Torres, to secure the win.
The Yankees are attempting to become the second team in MLB history to complete a comeback from a 3-0 deficit, a feat previously achieved by the 2004 Boston Red Sox against the Yankees in the ALCS. Anthony Volpe, who hails from New Jersey, has been a standout player for the Yankees and could be this year’s version of Dave Roberts, who kick-started the Red Sox’s historic comeback 20 years ago. Game 5 is set to take place in the Bronx, with reigning Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole scheduled to start for the Yankees and Jack Flaherty for the Dodgers. If the Yankees win, it would be the first time a Fall Classic has been pushed to a Game 6 after a team took a 3-0 lead.
The Yankees’ victory in Game 4 has generated momentum for the team as they look to continue their comeback against the Dodgers. The pressure is on both teams as they battle it out in the World Series, with the potential for history to be made if the Yankees can complete an improbable comeback.
