The Los Angeles Dodgers won their eighth World Series title in franchise history and first since 2020 on Wednesday night, coming back from a five-run deficit to complete a Hollywood ending to their season.< https://lamusuofficial.com/ /p>
• Freeman has 10 RBIs this series, passing Gil Hodges (1956) and Duke Snider (1952) for most RBIs in a World Series in Dodgers history (RBI official since 1920). Snider and Hodges each had eight in seven games. This was Game 4. Freeman’s 10 RBIs are also the most in the first four games of a World Series, ahead of Tony Fernandez (1993), Bobby Richardson (1960) and Lou Gehrig (1928), who each had nine. Richardson’s 12 total that year is the record for a single World Series.
“It seems like we hit every speed bump possible over the course of this year. And to overcome what we did as a group of guys, it’s special,” Freeman said. “This is what we start out to do every single Spring Training is to win a championship. I think it’s the hardest thing to do in sports because you just never know what’s going to happen. I mean, we were down 2-1 in the NLDS and it easily could have gotten away from us. And to come back and win those two games and keep it going like we did, it’s just a special group of guys.”
Game 3 starter Walker Buehler made a surprise appearance that sealed his own incredible October story. Buehler returned earlier this season from Tommy John surgery but had a lackluster season before looking like his dominant self in October.
• Freddie Freeman entered having homered in each game of the series and wasted no time adding Game 3 to the list, going yard in the first. He became just the third player to homer in Games 1, 2 and 3 of a World Series, joining 2002 Barry Bonds (Giants) and 1958 Hank Bauer (Yankees). Nobody has done so in the first four. The only player to homer in four straight games within a single World Series is George Springer, in 2017 Games 4-7.
Though the Yankees struck back with a Juan Soto solo shot — the lone mistake from Yamamoto — in the top of the third, the game wasn’t knotted for long. In the bottom of the third, the loaded Dodgers lineup feasted on Rodón fastballs to mount a two-out rally.
Yankees: Juan Soto homered and had two hits in Game 2. Of his four homers this postseason, three have given the Yankees the lead, and one has tied the game. Stanton has six homers and 14 RBIs this postseason. Rizzo has produced a .520 on-base percentage. Judge continues to slump, now 6-for-40 (.150) with 19 strikeouts during this postseason. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (.186 BA) and Austin Wells (.098 BA) also have struggled.

It is safe to say that nobody expected much from a Mad Max game released around the time of Fury Road but not related to that movie in any meaningful way. While the sheer shock of that game’s eventual quality did arguably inflate its reputation somewhat, Mad Max remains a pretty special open-world experience.
In 2017, the open-world design of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was described by critics as being revolutionary and by developers as a paradigm shift for open-world design. In contrast to the more structured approach of most open-world games, Breath of the Wild features a large and fully interactive world that is generally unstructured and rewards the exploration and manipulation of its world. Inspired by the original 1986 Legend of Zelda, the open world of Breath of the Wild integrates multiplicative gameplay, where “objects react to the player’s actions and the objects themselves also influence each other”. Along with a physics engine, the game’s open-world also integrates a chemistry engine, “which governs the physical properties of certain objects and how they relate to each other”, rewarding experimentation. Nintendo has described the game’s approach to open-world design as “open-air”.
There are some standout missions across the main story, but exploring San Francisco is the main highlight, thanks to a top-tier soundtrack, a detailed recreation of the Bay Area, and the ability to hack oncoming traffic to clear up the roads a little.

“I feel great, I feel great,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s about the guys that you have available. They’re all rested. So we have guys that can do up/down. So where we’re at , knowing there’s an off-day , we’re in a great spot with leverage relievers.”
“I don’t know if I’ve ever quite seen an inning like this, especially in a World Series or postseason game,” Jeter said. “Look, the Yankees made some mistakes. You can’t make mistakes against a team like the Los Angeles Dodgers. That particular inning, you gave them six outs.”
Before that inning, Kahnle hadn’t given up an earned run this postseason. His changeup was so wicked, so delightful that John Smoltz on the Fox broadcast requested a changeup counter on the screen. But in the eighth inning a combination of rotten command and over-reliance on the changeup led directly to the Dodgers putting the series to bed.
I’ll be curious to see what sort of information Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers will reveal about the extent of his shoulder injury. Because, if one may be frank, there are two things here that are worth saying:
If he’s anything like the Gerrit Cole we saw in Game 1, when he held the Dodgers to one run on four hits over six-plus innings at Dodger Stadium, then the Yankees pulse that was revived in Game 4 could quicken in Game 5.
