The Los Angeles Dodgers are up 1-0 on the New York Yankees after a dramatic start to the 2024 World Series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers seized an early lead in the 2024 World Series, defeating the New York Yankees, 6-3, in Game 1 at Dodger Stadium Saturday (PHL time).
The victory is thanks to Freddie Freeman’s dramatic walk-off Grand Slam in the 10th inning. Freeman, who played through an injured right ankle, delivered the clutch hit to give the Dodgers the head start in the best-of-seven.
The Dodgers struck first in Game 1, taking a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning.
But the Yankees responded quickly in the sixth with a two-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton, scoring both himself and Juan Soto.
Trailing late, the Dodgers tied the game in the bottom of the eighth, as Mookie Betts’ single drove in Shohei Ohtani.
With Freeman’s walk-off blast, the Dodgers will look to carry their momentum into Game 2, scheduled for tomorrow, October 27 (PHL time).
