To win it all, the Dodgers had to give it all. Had to stare down an ugly early deficit. Had to empty their bullpen. Had to rally against Gerrit Cole and then against the Yankees’ best relievers. Had to get a World Series-clinching save from starter Walker Buehler, of all people.The Yankees were undone by a horrifying 5th inning.Box ScoreBullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch 👕Chase for 28 - Podcast and Select Player ShirtsSeatGeek 🎟Check out SeatGeek - the easiest way to buy tickets for sports, concerts, and more.

They crammed in crowded 4 and D trains, packed the Bronx’s sports bars and streamed through the Yankee Stadium gates, ready to lend their voices to the comeback cause.

And so the Yankees, who brought their band of slugging superstars to the West Coast, head east with a daunting deficit against a Dodgers team that had been an out away from angst in the opener, yet is now two wins from a ring. What remains to be seen is if the tone will shift at Yankee Stadium, and if Ohtani will be back in the lineup in the Bronx.Box ScoreBullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch 👕Chase for 28 - Podcast and Select Player ShirtsSeatGeek 🎟Check out SeatGeek - the easiest way to buy tickets for sports, concerts, and more.

Thirty-six years after a gimpy Kirk Gibson limped to the plate to smack a Game 1 walk-off homer, Freddie Freeman came to bat with a badly injured right ankle, the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th and a chance to summon October magic of his own. With one, no-doubt swing, Freeman rocketed the ball into the right-field pavilion seats for the first-ever World Series walk-off grand slam that gave the Dodgers an epic 6-3 victory in a Game 1 thriller Friday night at Dodger Stadium.Box ScoreBullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch 👕Chase for 28 - Podcast and Select Player ShirtsSeatGeek 🎟Check out SeatGeek - the easiest way to buy tickets for sports, concerts, and more.
