Thanks in part to a big night from Anthony Volpe, the Yankees fought off elimination to keep their season alive. It brings them to their second must-win game in two days and the same do-or-die stakes.
Volpe’s grand slam awakened a Yankees offense that had previously been held to no more than three runs in each of the first three games. Last night, they scored 11. An early, history-making homer from Dodger Freddie Freeman wasn’t enough to keep the Dodgers ahead.
Tonight, the Yankees will start their ace, Gerrit Cole, for the second time in the World Series, and face a situation similar to last night: win and go back to Los Angeles for Game 6 or lose and the season is over.
