If the Yankees and Dodgers can even come close to the drama and excitement of Game 1 again in this World Series, baseball fans will be rejoicing. Freddie Freeman’s epic, walk-off grand slam to lift the Dodgers to a 6-3 win and a 1-0 lead in the series was the first walk-off grand slam in any World Series game and came on the very first pitch Nestor Cortes threw to him.
While the good news for the Dodgers is that they’re up 1-0 in the World Series, thanks to Freeman’s epic Kirk Gibson impression (h/t Joe Davis for his Vin Scully nod, also), the good news for the Yankees is that it only counts for one, and New York can still take home-field advantage in the series with a win Saturday night.
Carlos Rodón (1-1, 4.40 ERA, 14.1 IP 22 K, 1 BB in 2024 postseason) starts for the Yankees against Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-0, 5.11 ERA, 12.1 IP, 11 K, 4 BB) for the Dodgers with first pitch set for 8:08 p.m. ET in Los Angeles.
