Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts celebrates after the Dodgers beat New York Yankees in Game 5 to win the baseball World Series, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, in New York. You gotta hand it to Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. And not just because the Yankees certainly did.
Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning for New York. Alex Verdugo’s RBI single chased Jack Flaherty in the second, and Giancarlo Stanton’s third-inning homer against Ryan Brasier built a 5-0 Yankees lead.“We were like just get one, chip away, chip away,” Freeman said.
“I looked in his eyes. I said how you feeling? How much more you got?” Roberts recalled. “He said: `I want it.’ I trust him.”Walker Buehler, making his first relief appearance since his rookie season in 2018, pitched a perfect ninth for his first major league save. “We were able to get through the regular season, I think, because of the strength of this team, this organization,” he said through a translator. “The success of the postseason is very similar.”
Ending a season that started with a gambling scandal involving Ohtani’s interpreter during the opening series in South Korea, Roberts won his second championship in nine years as Dodgers manager, matching Lasorda and trailing the four of Walter Alston. The Dodgers won for the fourth time in 12 Series meetings with the Yankees.
Cole struck out Lux and Ohtani, and Betts hit a grounder to Rizzo — a slow grounder by a Mookie turned the 1986 World Series, by the Mets’ Mookie Wilson against Boston.
