The Yankees have kept the lights on and the Bronx
forcing this game five, the Dodgers steal one win
away from a championship and it's a matchup of these
teams. Aces Garrett called for the Yankees and Jack
Flaherty for the Dodgers Flaherty. He's facing a Yankee
lineup that is trying to ride the momentum from game
four. So the first base runner of the night
and Aaron Judge coming to the plate first pitch,
I would imagine we will tell you a lot about
Aaron Judge and tonight a sleeping giant has awoken.
It is a judgy and blast into the right center
field seat and the Yankees take an immediate two nothing
lead in this must game. Doesn't mean the game's
over, of course not, but boy, it's
much better to have the lead. Now, here
is Jazz Chisholm. It's Chisholm, Jazz Chisholm Homers
to deep right field, all that Jazz and Chisholm
and Judge hit home runs back to back a belly
to belly and the Yankees take an immediate three nothing
lead infield pulls in as Alex Verdugo comes up runner
at third one away by a guy. The Yankees
like up in this spot. Good bat to ball
guy. That's a same story. Bottom of the
Yankees lineup gets it done. Alex drives in Anthony
and it's four to the swing from Aaron Judge in
the first inning. What did that mean to this
team? Yeah, it was big. Uh,
you know, obviously for him good at bats last
night. No. Who needs to be the opposite
field. Open up the third. It is a
Stanton home run. Giancarlo Carlo, the Yankees now
take off five and the Dodgers still don't have a
hit against Garrett Cole who has been done. He
has Hernandez hit the first pace of the ball game
for the Dodgers and that snaps back to the middle
part of yesterday's game, an extended no hitter between
the pen and 44 for 27 stretch snapped right there
with that base hit struck out in a change up
his first time with a heating up judge who settles
under this ball. Can Hernandez get to the before
the a routine play, Aaron Judge clubs it in
center field and the Dodgers catch a huge break right
there. The Dodgers got to be saying, ok
, here's our chance. A little crack in the
door here down 5 to 0, but a couple
of runners aboard, Will Smith was going to be
a tough play but one, the Yankees should make
and the bases are loaded. Two defensive mishaps for
New York. It's the second Yankee error of the
inning and they will be loaded for Gavin luck far
from out of the woods. It's Otani with the
bases juiced in the superstar against superstar on the biggest
stage and Gerrit Cole wins it. Head to head
. You're one more out away. You just have
to block it out and make pitches with two outs
. First atrocious defense from the Yankees leading directly to
a Dodger run in the fifth. The Yankee defense
absolutely failed. Garrett Cole in the fifth. It's
now 5 to 1 and they're loaded for Freddie.
Yeah, the Dodgers take advantage of the bad defense
from New York and this game has changed in the
and guess who? It's Freddie Freeman right in the
middle of it now, 12 runs driven in in
five games in this fall classic for the ages.
So the Dodgers have taken advantage two airs a mental
mistake and they're back in this ball game right now
at the corners for Te Oscar Hernandez in the air
to left center field, judge on the run dead
sprint now and it's over his head in to score
Bernie Freeman and this game has been turned upside down
a five run fifth inning in a T game.
Every time you think you've seen everything in baseball,
you haven't. This one inning is a comedy of
errors and if they lose this game, it's their
own fault. Is it ever? The Yankees have
cornered with one away, the Yankees have taken the
lead. It's a sack Fly Stanton did the job
. Zack Fly and an RB I and the Yankees
take a 6 to 5 lead. It's Garrett Cole
back out there to face the top of the Dodger
lineup. You know, this is empty in the
tank last start of the year. I mean,
this is impressive. You know, he's so badly
wants to finish seventh. Yes, he does,
of course for the game but for the pride 3
to 1 to Freeman outside ball four, the fourth
walk that he's issued and that's the last batter that
he will face. Garrett Cole digs deep with everything
scheming against him in the fifth inning, five unearned
runs. They're going to show off their appreciation the
toughness he showed tonight in a 6 to 5 game
top of the seventh Tasca Hernandez at the plate tying
run at first Clay Holmes comes in in a four
pitch walk. Thats just not moving how he wants
it to Holmes is facing Muncie for the third time
right here, tying run at second. Go ahead
run at first Weaver for the first time in his
career is going to pitch three consecutive days and he
will come into a bases loaded situation in a one
run game. Evans lifts a fly ball to center
field, judge angles over tags and heads for the
play throw will go to third do have the and
it's 6 to 6 in the eighth. Shohei and
Mookie Betts comes up with the bases loaded and one
gone. The deep center field judge retreats. He'll
make the grab. The Dodgers have come all the
way back and taken the lead 76 in the most
preposterous way comes down to this in game five bottom
of the ninth Yankee stadium, the Dodgers seven,
the Yankees six L A three outs from a world
title after two and a third heroic innings from Blake
Tron. The Dodgers are turning to Walker Bueller out
of the bullpen for the first time since the end
of June in 2018. Breaking pitch down to the
third M he's got it one gone in the Boston
Wells on a 32 James and misses Rodgers. Walker
Bueller is run out away from a championship from a
proper celebration. You got series, they've done it
, they've finished the job and give Los Angeles the
, it's been waiting for, this is everything.
Um I'm telling you I wouldn't be here without the
support of everybody in these shirts tonight. Um It's
been a grind these last three months, but this
organization, Stan Andrew Brandon Doc, my teammates,
my family. It's, it's been, it's been
a lot and this is, this is it right
here, not this, that one, that one
. That's what it's about. That's what it's about
, obviously resilient, but there's so much love in
this clubhouse. That's car, that car that won
this game today. That's what it was, it
was love, it was grit. I mean,
it was just a beautiful thing and I'm just proud
of us and I'm just happy for us. People
talked about scripting things. I never expected Walker Bueller
to get the last out in the same situation in
game five. So uh game six or whatever the
heck this game is, I'm just so proud of
our guys and we did it for the city of
Los Angeles and everyone wanted this match up and uh
it lived up to the building because obviously this is
a very difficult moment for us. Um You get
to this point, you know, as I said
to the guys, you know, this obviously it
stings now, but this is, this is gonna
sting forever. Yeah, we just didn't get the
job done, you know, just a couple mistakes
along the way that hurt us. But, um
, like I said, we just, we didn't
finish it. It's a wild inning, you know
, I mean, they made it tough on us
, just kept putting the wrong play and grinding out
pitch after pitch. Um It felt almost, you
know, at the end of it almost felt like
a win to just, you know, not really
give up the lead and, you know, be
in a position to keep going. So, um
, well, that is tm just a tough game
, you know. Uh definitely with them, we
got them, uh at the end of the day
, we make a couple of plays that we should
get and, uh, get it done. But
we couldn't, we gotta sit down and look at
it, uh, whenever, uh, we have
a chance with my agent and everything and we will
see what it's gonna do for more on these and
other stories. Keep it locked. Mlb.com. It's
baseball everywhere.
