Dodgers vs. Yankees score, live updates: Los Angeles goes for World Series sweep in Game 4 in New York

The New York Yankees will have their backs against the wall in New York on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete a World Series sweep – their first since 2012 – to capture a second title under manager Dave Roberts. It was a dismal series for the Yankees’ biggest bat, with Aaron Judge hitting just .083 in the first three games of this series and going 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts. He’s not the only Yankee struggling: the Bronx Bombers are hitting just .186 as a team in the series, though both Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto are swinging the bat well.

If you’re a Dodgers fan, Game 4 of the Freddie Freeman Show could be Los Angeles’ crowning achievement for the former Atlanta star, who becomes only the third player to hit home runs in the first three games of a World Series, joining Hank Bauer. (1958, Yankees) and Barry Bonds (2002, Giants). Freeman has actually homered in his last five World Series games, dating back to his 2021 World Series victory with the Braves.

Luis Gil (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 4.0 IP, 3 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) gets the start for the Yankees with the season on the line, and the Dodgers send in Ben Casparius (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 4.1 IP, 4K, 2 BB), with first pitch set for 8:08 PM ET at Yankee Stadium on Fox.

  • Ohtani’s health remains a question mark for this series, even though he reached base a few times in Game 3.

  • Paul O’Neill’s first pitch was so bad he threw a second one to AJ Burnett.

  • The Dodgers could make some interesting decisions tonight. They start Ben Casparius and have Landon Knack waiting in the wings, and both pitchers could throw multiple innings.

    If the Dodgers take the lead in those innings, they will likely throw everything at the Yankees to end this series tonight. But if they’re down, they might be okay with resting their bullpen as much as possible, with favorable matchups in the later games.

  • Three home runs in three World Series games (plus two more in his previous two World Series games) will do that.

  • Let’s not forget where the Dodgers were on October 8th

    The Dodgers lost Game 3 of the NLDS to the division rival San Diego Padres, falling behind 2-1. Walker Buehler and Jack Flaherty both allowed at least four points in their defeat. Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. mocked Dodgers fans. Dave Roberts added to the mockery by reacting angrily to Manny Machado throwing a ball at him.

    Since then, the Dodgers have gone 9-2 while outscoring the Padres, Mets and Yankees 70-29. Their lineup was a torture chamber, their bullpen is deep, and the trio of Buehler, Flaherty, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto all looked good in this series. So much has been made about the Dodgers’ talent, but it almost took a complete turn to get them to this point.

  • What is the history of 3-0 teams in the World Series?

    In short, not good if you’re a Yankees fan.

    A total of 24 teams have taken a 3-0 lead in the World Series. 21 of those teams ended the series in Game 4, while the other three won the title in Game 5. The Yankees would make history by sending this series back to Los Angeles.

    In the broader history of 3-0 leads, teams with that advantage have won the 7-game series 39 out of 40 times. You probably already know the exception: the Boston Red Sox’ 2004 comeback against the Yankees, which depended on a steal by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. So it would be quite a reversal of fate if the Yankees were to pull this off.

    Only one other team has even evened a series after trailing 3-0: the 2020 Houston Astros’ close victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. The Rays won Game 7.

  • Why are the Dodgers starting Ben Casparius?

    The team that is about to win a World Series starts with Ben Casparius, a 25-year-old rookie who played a total of three games in the regular season. He will be the opener in a bullpen game for the Dodgers against Yankees rookie Luis Gil.

    This is the fourth bullpen game of the postseason for the Dodgers and they won two of their first three. That’s despite having Landon Knack, another rookie who was solid in 12 regular-season starts. The Dodgers do this because they would rather lean on their bullpen than start a starting pitcher they don’t trust.

    The Dodgers only have three of those starting pitchers due to a rash of injuries in their rotation that could indicate significant structural problems in their organization or some kind of “Homer at the Bat”-style curse. Here are some starting pitchers who were unavailable this postseason due to injuries: Tyler Glasnow, Gavin Stone, Clayton Kershaw, Bobby Miller, River Ryan, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin.

  • The Yankees move Giancarlo Stanton, but not Aaron Judge, down the lineup

    The Yankees are making an odd little adjustment with their backs against the wall. Their lineup today has swapped usual cleanup hitter Giancarlo Stanton with No. 5 hitter Jazz Chisholm Jr., with Game 3 No. 6 hitter Anthony Volpe and No. 7 hitter Anthony Rizzo also swapping. Both are exchanges of lefty and righty hitters

    Stanton has been great this postseason and had the Yankees’ biggest hit of the series in Game 1 with his two-run homer. Aaron Judge, who is 6-for-43 with 20 strikeouts this postseason, is still batting third behind Juan Soto.

    Ben Casparius and Luis Gil will be the starting pitchers.
