Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series Game 5 Highlights (10/30/24) | MLB Highlights

The Yankees have kept the lights on in the Bronx forcing this game five the Dodgers still one win away from a championship and it's a matchup for these team's aces Garrett Cole for the Yankees and Jack Flaherty for the Dodgers Garrett Cole and John you've been in those shoes before what's he got to do tonight to get this to a game six. Well the first thing he's got to do is let his teammates have it done and put a zero on the first inning. Keep the crowd in it. Keep his team in it. Pitch the first inning like tonight. And then you know what. When he gets in the second inning pitch it like the ninth inning. Shohei Ohtani is diminished as he may be still in the lineup with that bad shoulder. Off we go in game five with a fastball that's lifted to centerfield. Game one began game five begins with a fly out of the first pitch to center field for Motani. Now here's Mookie Betts here's a Q shot to go on for Cole on four pitches. Now the guy who has been the toughest task for the Yankees so far in this world series. Freddy Freeman. Puts this one the other way. Routine for Alex Rodrigo. Tom set by Garrett Cole. Garrett Cole has a one two three. Jack Flaherty on the bump trying to match Garrett Cole and back up a strong game one start in the World Series. Flaherty he's facing a Yankee lineup that is trying to ride the momentum from game four. At the end of the bat here with a slider. Is the first out as Juan Soto comes to the plate here I think extra important is first inning for Jack Flaherty. John talk about Cole set in its own Flaherty he's got to set one of his own takes ball for Soto the first baserunner of the night and Aaron Judge coming to the plate first pitch I would imagine will tell you a lot about Aaron Judge and tonight fastball driven the other way. Sleeping John it is a judge and blast into the right center field seats and the Yankees take an immediate to nothing lead in this must game. Flaherty tried to surprise him with a fastball but Aaron Judge was ready and the fans and the team have been waiting for this great player to be unleashed. Step one doesn't mean the game's over of course not. But boy it's much better to have the lead. Here is just Chisholm. Jazz Chisholm homers to deep right field. All that jazz and Chisholm and Judge at home runs back to back on a belly to belly and the Yankees take an immediate three nothing lead for the one two three first inning. Stuff looked live in that first struck him out. That was the big pitch that Cole had working for him in game one. Here's the Max Muncy Texas fastball that made it his swing if you watch it go by the house just by the side of the road it becomes out number two Hayman Eric Coles retired the first five he's delivered strike one to all five hitters so far. Kike Hernandez Fernandez flies it to right center field. Soto the call and Chisholm six up six down. Bottom of the Yankees lineup usually that is a bad thing but yesterday it was the main thing. Anthony Volpe with his breakout performance Grand Slam to turn everything around. Beats his way to the second with a lead off to that first pitch fastball and he's trying in this very little velocity on it and they're all getting it. Infield pulls in as Alex Verdugo comes up runner a third one away by the guy the Yankees like up in this strike. Good back to ball guy. Fifth run batted in for Alex Verdugo and here comes Dave Roberts signals to the pen for Anthony Banda. Jack Clarity after thirty five pitches in Game 5 is going to get the hook. Yeah he just didn't have it and Dave Roberts cannot stay on this train any longer. He's going to have to change the Dodgers remove Jack Clarity after an inning and a third. It hasn't gotten any better with Anthony Banda in there. The bases are loaded. My big question where did the Dodgers go. Rolled the first Freddy Freeman will pick it up. Banda covering the bag Chisholm hustling down the line head first slide. Banda just beat him to the Yankees leave him loaded. Welcome back to Yankee Stadium with Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Aaron you know that some swings mean more than just the runs on the scoreboard. The swing from Aaron Judge in the first inning. What did that mean to this team. Yeah it was big. You know obviously for him good at bats last night. It is a Stantonian homerun. Giancarlo. No. He blows. The Giancarlo Stanton opens his second against the new Dodger pitcher Ryan Grazer with his seventh home run of the postseason. The Yankees now take out five. We're going to start the fire for the Dodgers here looking for their first hit. He at least has a walk in the leadoff baserunner against Cole. So here comes the man of the moment in Los Angeles. Freddie Freeman. The left field his first time watches this ball left center field judge on the run is still going. He's at the. Wow wow what a play. He went as far as he could go at the bullpen was three ninety nine. And he jumped it banged into the nothing to bring this place to life like him getting going he's done it with a homerun and now with his defense and the Dodgers still don't have a hit against Garrett Cole who has been dominant. He has Hernandez with the first base hit of the ballgame for the Dodgers and that snaps back to the middle part of yesterday's game and extended no hitter between the pen and Cole. That was over twenty seven stretch snapped right there with that base hit on the admin struck out in a change up his first time with a heating up Aaron Judge who settles under this ball. Can Hernandez get to the bag before the throw he does on a routine play. Aaron Judge just flubs it in center field and the Dodgers catch a huge break right there. The Dodgers got to be saying OK here's our chance little crack in the door here down five nothing but a couple runners aboard Will Smith and a ground ball outside Volpe. There's going to be a tough play but one the Yankees should make and the bases are loaded to defensive mishaps for New York. It's the second Yankee error of the inning and they'll be loaded for Gavin Lux who has changed demeanor wise from Garrett Cole. He is giving the persona that everything is in control far from out of the woods. It's Ohtani with the bases juiced in the fifth. Superstar against superstar on the biggest stage and Garrett Cole wins it head to head. This is where it gets hard. He's gone way way in the tank to get these two strikeouts. You cannot think you're one more out away. You just have to block it out and make pitches with two outs. 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 five to one and they're loaded for Freddy and for the Dodgers to score in this inning it's taken two physical errors and one huge mental error. So now Freddy the tying run at the plate two outs in the fifth. The Dodgers take advantage of the bad defense from New York and this game has changed in the blink of an eye. And guess who. It's Freddy Freeman right in the middle of it. Now twelve runs driven in in five games in this fall classic for the ages. So the Dodgers have taken advantage two errors a mental mistake. They're back in this ballgame right now at the corners for Teoscar Hernandez in the air to left center field judge on the run. It's a dead sprint now to the track and it's over his head. That's in the score. Freddy Freeman from this game has been turned upside down. The Yankees cracked the door open with the poor defense and the Dodgers kick it down a five run fifth inning in a tie game in Game 5. 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. Why is it ever so back to back walks issued by Brews Dark Graterol. Now we're into the heart of the order. Jazz Chisholm to the plate. Giancarlo Stanton on deck sticks to the fastball bounce to second. Luxury second for one. That's all they'll get for the speed of Chisholm. The Yankees have him cornered with one away. And here's Giancarlo Stanton one of the three Yankees home runs belongs to this guy seven in the postseason. Stanton. The Yankees have taken the lead. So it's a sad fly. Stanton really did the job sack fly in an RBI and the Yankees take a 6 5 lead. Gracious walk number eight for the Dodgers staff third of the inning for Graterol. Here comes Dave Roberts Blake trying it's in the game bottom of the sixth inning six five Yankees in Game 5. So at this point every one of the Dodgers high leverage arms has been used. Up to this point two on two out the Dodgers trailing by one Volpe hits it on the ground roller to Lux he scoops it up throws it to Freeman low throw but Freddy has it and that ends the sixth inning. So trying to comes out of the bullpen strands a pair. It's Garrett call back out there to face the top of the Dodger lineup. Well you know this is empty in the tank last start of the year. I mean this is impressive. Now you know he's so badly wants to finish seven. Yes he does. Yeah of course for the game but for the pride is three one to Freeman. Outside ball for the fourth walk that he's issued and that's the last batter that will face Garrett Caldwell digs deep with everything scheming against him in that fifth inning five unearned runs. They're going to show off their appreciation for the toughness that he showed tonight in a 6 5 game top of the seven task Hernandez at the plate tying run at first Clay Holmes comes in and a four pitch walk that sinker's 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 it first. And stranded two to keep the Yankees in front. Tommy Koehler comes in Yankee six Dodgers five top of the eighth inning. Hernandez to lead off for L.A. Rips a line drive base hit to left field. He started the rally in the five run fifth. He starts this eight with a base hit. Now Tommy Edmonds breaks his back. Hope he's able to smother it but that didn't mean much. Hernandez to second and Edmonds on a broken back roller has an infield hit. Dodgers one went away from a championship. If they could do it here it'd be in a comeback that they'll talk about for a long time. Two on nobody out a three oh pitch and a four pitch walk to load the bases. They're not going to be any nails left to bite in the Bronx by the end of this one. Weaver for the first time in his career is going to pitch three consecutive days and he'll come into a bases loaded situation in a one run game. Gavin Lux. Supply bought a center field judge angles over his tags and heads for the play throw will go to third. Santa Fe's five and Gavin Lux and it's six six in the eight show. Tommy yet to really make his mark in this world series. Folks at foul that's catcher's interference on Austin Wells. They're pointing to Wells interference will load the bases and the list of errors grows for the Yankees and Mookie Betts comes up with the bases loaded and one guy. Judge retreats he'll make the grab. The Dodgers have come all the way back and taken the lead and get seven six in the most preposterous way. A one run lead one win from a world championship. But go ahead run his on and Giancarlo Stanton's coming up with a B against trying to introduce Dave Roberts dip into that bullpen for one of the two options. Kelly men most pitchers he's thrown this year thirty nine of his back in June this would be his thirty eight and these are the highest stress thirty eight pitchers he's ever thrown lifted down the right field line that sprints and he's got it stands the second out two on two out in the eighth Anthony Rizzo at the plate 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 trying to the Dodgers are turning to Walker Bueller Walker Bueller out of the bullpen for the first time since the end of June in twenty eighteen breaking pitch down to the third once he's got it one gone in the night Austin Wells on a three to the Dodgers are one out away Walker Bueller is one out away from a championship from a proper celebration their dream to tap off their eighth World Championship with a comeback for the ages from down five to nothing to win at seven six in five games in this clash of the titans.
