Freeman Grand Slam Highlights Dodgers Game 1 Victory Over Yankees 6-3

Game 1 of the 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees took place on October 25, 2024. It was expected to be epic but has exceeded expectations. 

The Dodgers triumphed with a thrilling 6-3 victory on Freddie Freeman’s historic walk-off grand slam with two out in the bottom of the 10th inning. 

The overall game brings tense moments. In the early stages, the Dodgers initially took the lead in the fifth inning. Will Smith hit the sacrifice fly and allowed Enrique Hernandez to score.

The Yankees benefited from a two-run home run by Giancarlo Stanton., putting them ahead 2-1. 

In the 8th inning, Shohei Ohtani doubled and later scored another sacrifice fly from Mookie Betts. They leave the game at 2-2. 

The game moves forward with extra innings drama. In the top of the tenth Yankees lead by 3-2. Anthony Volpe drove in a run following a successful steal from Jaaz Chisholm Jr. 

At the end of the tenth, Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam after the Yankees. They intentionally walked Betts to load the bases and steal the game for the Dodgers. 

The game ends with a thrilling finish. Manager Dave Roberts said, ” It was a great game before that, but the way it is finished, I couldn’t be more excited for our guys.” 

While Yakeens left fielder said, “We played that team well for the whole game.

At the end of the day, we’re two best teams out here, so we’re going to come here with our heads held up high, with confidence, and go out here and complete again.”

The series continues with game 2 on October 26 in Los Angeles. Game 3 and Game 4 will be held on October 28th and 29th, respectively. The best on-seven series will be processed based on the performance.
