Live updates: Dodgers beat Yankees in Game 5 of World Series

What to Know

  • Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back homers in the bottom of the first for a 3-0 lead, which increased to 4-0 in the second and 5-0 in the third.
  • A sloppy defensive showing by New York in the fifth inning gave the Dodgers their first scores.
  • A sacrifice fly from Giancarlo Stanton in the bottom of the sixth saw Juan Soto reach home for New York to take a 6-5 lead, but L.A. came back in the top of the eighth.
  • Yankees ace Gerrit Cole (1-0, 2.82 ERA) faced Dodgers righty Jack Flaherty, who was pulled in the second.
  • The Dodgers have a chance to win their eighth World Series and first since 2020.

The New York Yankees have avoided a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, their mission is to send the 2024 World Series back to the West Coast.

The Dodgers lead the Fall Classic 3-1 after the Yankees picked up an 11-4 victory in Tuesday’s Game 4. While New York staved off elimination, it still has a long way to go in its attempt to become the first team to overcome a 3-0 series deficit in the World Series.

New York will turn to its ace, Gerrit Cole, for Game 5 as the team looks to get one step closer to history and a 28th World Series title. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are giving the nod to veteran righty Jack Flaherty.
