Dodgers' comeback stuns the Yankees
China DailyLos Angeles Dodgers players flood onto the field after beating the New York Yankees to win the MLB World Series at Yankee Stadium in New York on Wednesday. USA TODAY SPORTS VIA REUTERS NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Dodgers won their second World Series championship in five seasons, overcoming a five-run deficit with the help of three Yankees defensive miscues and rallying on sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in the eighth inning to beat New York 7-6 in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, Alex Verdugo's RBI single chased Jack Flaherty in the second, and Giancarlo Stanton's third-inning homer against Ryan Brasier built a 5-0 Yankees lead. But, on Halloween eve, in an inning that will haunt Yankees fans forever, errors by Judge in center and Anthony Volpe at shortstop, combined with pitcher Gerrit Cole failing to cover first base on a Betts grounder, helped Los Angeles score five unearned runs in the fifth.
