Game 5 world series 2024
Montgomery was missing nearly 2 mph off his sinker and curveball, his two best pitches, and he didn’t get a swing and miss until his 50th pitch. The D-backs strung together four straight hard-hit balls to score two runs in the fourth inning betti the yetti. Gabriel Moreno went deep, Josh Jung made a stellar play to rob Christian Walker, Tommy Pham doubled, then Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled him in.
Remember, not only has Freeman been hobbled by a sprained ankle for a month, but he has been through hell this year, with his son Max being hospitalized with Guillain-Barre syndrome over the All-Star Break and still on the road to recovery. There have been many moments this baseball season I’ll never forget, but Freeman’s press conference when he returned to the Dodgers, after Max turned the corner and began the long process of healing is atop the list, as it would be for any parent:
With both clubs having dived deep into their bullpens in the first extra-innings game of this postseason, length would be welcomed from Rangers starter Jordan Montgomery and D-backs starter Merrill Kelly, though a looming off-day Sunday means no stone will be left unturned by Texas manager Bruce Bochy and Arizona manager Torey Lovullo.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” fellow Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández of the play, in which one fan held Betts’ left wrist and pried the ball out of his glove, while another grasped Betts’ right arm. “Now that I see pictures and videos and all that stuff, it’s a little crazy.”
The Dodgers went ahead early in Game 4 on yet another home run from Freddie Freeman, his record sixth straight game with a homer in the Fall Classic. It was how the Dodgers began their wins in Games 2 and 3, and then the Yankees didn’t help themselves with some misplays.
The Braves then were part of the heartbeat of Black Atlanta. Hip-hop artists wore their caps, and legions of Black fans, ushers and street vendors mingled with White fans at the team’s ballpark in a historic Black neighborhood near downtown.
As for the Dodgers’ pitching plans, well, they have shown twice this postseason that they can piece together a win entirely with their ‘pen, including in their NLCS clincher against the Mets in Game 6. And they’ve been firmly in control of this World Series ever since Freddie Freeman swung them to victory in the 10th inning of Game 1.
The Dodgers clinched the eighth World Series title in franchise history with their 7-6 win over the Yankees in Game 5. The Yankees, meantime, see their 2024 season end three wins away from their ultimate goal.
Game 1 world series
Against loaded lineups, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole and Dodgers trade acquisition Jack Flaherty — both of whom grew up rooting for the teams they now suit up for — managed to mount a rare starting pitchers’ duel in the midst of an especially bullpen-oriented October.
That brought up star slugger Shohei Ohtani, a left-handed hitter. Yankees manager Aaron Boone went to his bullpen again for Cortes, a lefty starter who hadn’t pitched since Sept. 18 because of an elbow injury.
9:51 p.m. — The Yankees are threatening more runs in the sixth inning. Against the Dodgers’ Anthony Banda, Chisholm singled, Volpe was intentionally walked and Wells reached on an infield hit after a huge diving stop from Edman to prevent a run. The bases are juiced for Alex Verdugo.
Freeman has been playing hobbled all postseason after spraining his ankle during the last week of the regular season. He didn’t post a single extra-base hit in the NLDS or NLCS, and he sat out some games to rest the ankle, then hit a grand slam and a triple on Friday.
