Grand Slams are fun, right? The momentum of this 2024 World Series has been dictated by a couple of them. Freddie Freeman’s Game 1 exit set the tone for what would become a 3-0 Dodgers lead in the series, and Anthony Volpe’s Game 4 grand slam helped the Yankees avoid a sweep. But can New York continue to ride that wave?
That’s the question the Yankees and Gerrit Cole have to answer Wednesday in Game 5. The New York ace (1-0, 2.82 ERA, 22 1/3 IP, 16 K, 6 BB) was brilliant in the Game 1, when he allowed just four hits and one run in six innings. Another stellar night from Cole could help the Yankees send the series back to Los Angeles. Jack Flaherty got the ball for Los Angeles in this one, but he exited early after allowing four runs and getting just four outs.
A Dodgers victory in Game 5 would give the franchise an eighth World Series title, while a Yankees victory, which would come without the two fans who were suspended after the Game 4 incident with Mookie Betts, would mean a Game 6 on Friday in Los Angeles. .
