The they battle started as Yankees vs. Dodgers in the 2024 World Series. It was a hell of a ride in this series that featured some pretty epic comebacks, clutch performances and moments you will remember forever.
A Series of Drama
- And Gerrit Cole was his usual self in Game 1, shutting down the Dodgers. However, the Dodgers would bounce back and took Games 2-3 to take a commanding 2–1 series lead. The Yankees made Game 4 a thriller and forced the series to go five games.
- Game 5 will be one of those an all-time classic. The Yankees took a 5–0 lead and appeared to have the championship in their back pocket. The Dodgers bounced right back in the 5th, though — scoring FIVE runs to tie this game! Then the floodgates opened when Aaron Judge dropped a fly ball and defensive slop was all that this series finale became.
- Los Angeles scored 2 more in the top of the 8th, and they never relinquished this lead to win by a final score of 7-6. Buehler slammed the door on this World Series, as well — recording two strikeouts in a quiet 1-2-3 ninth for New York – and it was done.
Key to the Dodgers’ win:
- Solid Pitching: The Dodgers starters were dominant this series, with Clayton Kershaw,, Julio Urías and Walker Buehler all leadng in the form of superb performances. They did well to keep the Yankees offensively limited.
- Dodgers offense shines with Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and J.D. Martinez each making key contributions Their ability to turn around deficits were a huge part of their World Series win.
- Solid Bullpen: The Dodgers had a very strong bullpen which was effective in areas of leverage. For the most part, they seized on strong pitching performances and clamped down on opponents like the Yankees.
