Dodgers vs. Yankees score, live updates: New York looks for more World Series magic in Game 5 as Los Angeles tries to win the title

Grand slams are fun, aren’t they? The momentum in this 2024 World Series was dictated by a few of them. Freddie Freeman’s walk-off in Game 1 set the tone for what would become a 3-0 series lead for the Dodgers, and Anthony Volpe’s Grand Slam in Game 4 helped the Yankees avoid a sweep, but can New York continue to ride that wave?

That’s the question the Yankees and Gerrit Cole will have to answer Wednesday in Game 5. The New York ace (1-0, 2.82 ERA, 22 1/3 IP, 16 K, 6 BB) was lights out in Game 1, when he gave up only four hits and one run in six innings. Another big night from Cole could help the Yankees send the series back to Los Angeles and put the pressure on the Dodgers. Jack Flaherty (1-2, 6.10 ERA, 20 2/3 IP, 14 K, 8 BB) gets the ball for Los Angeles. He was also solid in Game 1, scattering five hits over 5 1/3 innings and allowing just two runs.

A Dodgers win in Game 5 would give the franchise an eighth World Series title, while a Yankees win – which would come without the two fans who were locked out after the Game 4 incident with Mookie Betts – would add a Game 6 would mean it would take place in Los Angeles on Friday. Angeles.

  • That’s a seven-pitch 1-2-3 first inning for Gerrit Cole, ending with an easy catch off the bat of Freddie Freeman. We call that a good start.

  • Shohei Ohtani flies out on Gerrit Cole’s first pitch, and we move on to Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.

  • An appreciation for the Yankees bullpen

    The biggest moment of this series so far was the Yankees bullpen’s blunder that led to Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam in Game 1. That grand slam represents four of the five runs the Yankees bullpen allowed has allowed so far in the World Series.

    The Yankees’ losses in Games 2 and 3 consisted of the Dodgers’ lineup attacking starters Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt, only for the Yankees’ bullpen to shut them down and keep their team in the game. With Gerrit Cole on the mound tonight, the Dodgers offense probably won’t be easy.

  • How did things go between Jack Flaherty and Gerrit Cole last time?

    Flaherty and Cole were the starters in Game 1, and both pitchers looked like the starters of Game 1. Cole allowed just one run and four hits in six innings of work, while Flaherty allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings. They weren’t quite Sandy Koufax or Whitey Ford, but they delivered what their teams needed with two good bullpens behind them.

    The question now is: Can either pitcher replicate that form five days later, in a much more hitter-friendly stadium? Both are flyball pitchers and Yankee Stadium’s short fences have been generous the past two games.

  • Should the Dodgers be concerned after losing Game 4?

    Most Dodgers fans would be lying if they said losing Game 4 didn’t make them a little nervous, but let’s not forget that the Dodgers have been punched in the mouth before in these playoffs.

    In Game 3 of the NLDS, the Dodgers allowed a six-run inning that would ultimately lead to them winning two games they had to win. They responded by throwing 24 straight scoreless innings to shut down the San Diego Padres.

    In Game 5 of the NLCS, the Dodgers were about to advance when they opted for a bullpen game and ended up getting blown out (sound familiar?). They responded with a 10-5 victory in Game 6 to close out the New York Mets.

    The Dodgers could still lose this series. But they are in a much better position and have responded well to past stumbles.

  • Vegas loves the Yankees tonight

  • The Yankees can make history tonight

    The Yankees still have bigger goals in mind, but they can make history by sending the World Series back to Los Angeles tonight.

    Twenty-four teams are down 3-0 in the World Series. Twenty-one of those teams lost in Game 4 and were swept. The other three lost in Game 5. No team has ever forced a Game 6 after trailing 3-0 in the World Series, which the Yankees can do by winning a Gerrit Cole start tonight. This series still has the potential to be interesting.
