Dodgers Secure Eighth World Series Title With Thrilling Game 5 Comeback

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the 2024 World Series champions.

The Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series in thrilling fashion, defeating New York in five games by a final score of 7-6.

Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler earned the save after pitching one inning, allowing zero hits, zero walks and striking out two batters, including former Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo, for the World Series finale.

The Dodgers captured their eighth World Series title in franchise history and their first since 2020. However, this is their first World Series title in a 162-game season since 1988.

The Dodgers proved to be the best team all season and also showed why they are the toughest, toughest and most resilient team of this 2024 season.

The final game of the 2024 season did not come easily; Many even thought the game was over after the Dodgers trailed 5-0 in the third inning.

However, as the Dodgers had been all season, they didn’t quit. LA scored five runs to tie the game in the fifth inning, and they also got some help from the Yankees.

The Yankees had a handful of hiccups, including Aaron Judge dropping an easy fly ball to center, Anthony Volpe throwing to third base instead of first base on a grounder, and Geritt Cole failing to cover first base for Anthony Rizzo on a Mookie Betts. grounder.

It was a shaky start for Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty, who didn’t have his best stuff on the mound. He threw just 1.1 innings and allowed four hits, four earned runs and one strikeout in 35 pitches.

Flaherty was pulled; however, the bullpen, as they have done all postseason, came in and allowed just two earned runs while the offense caught fire and got a little help from the Yankee defense.

Shohei Ohtani wasn’t at his best throughout the World Series, and while that wasn’t ideal, the others took a big step forward, including World Series MVP Freddie Freeman.

Freeman had the run of his life, posting a .300 batting average with six hits, four home runs, 12 RBIs and five runs scored in five games in the 2024 World Series.

The Dodgers are back on the mountaintop, and after years of failure and the 2020 title being deemed “illegitimate” by some, they can’t say anything now.
