The New York Yankees have their backs against the wall on Tuesday in New York, as the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to complete a World Series sweep — the first since 2012 — and capture a second title under manager Dave Roberts. It has been a dismal series for the Yankees’ biggest bat, with Aaron Judge batting just .083 over the first three games of this series, going 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts. He isn’t the only Yankee struggling; the Bronx Bombers are batting just .186 as a team in the series, though both Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto are swinging the bat well.

If you’re a Dodgers fan, Game 4 of the Freddie Freeman Show could be a crowning Los Angeles achievement for the former Atlanta star, who is just the third player to hit home runs in the first three games of a World Series, joining Hank Bauer (1958 Yankees) and Barry Bonds (2002 Giants) — and he added another one in the first inning of Game 4, making him the first player ever to homer in the first four games of a World Series. Freeman has actually homered in his past six World Series games, dating to his 2021 World Series win with the Braves.

Luis Gil (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 4.0 IP, 3 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) is on the mound for the Yankees with the season on the line, while the Dodgers are giving the ball to Ben Casparius (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 4.1 IP, 4 K, 2 BB).

Live88 updates

  • Giancarlo Stanton pops out to put a merciful end to the inning, in which Honeywell threw 50 pitches. In comes Tim Mayza to get the final three outs of what quickly turned into a rout.

  • Yankees 11, Dodgers 4

    Aaron Judge scores Soto with a single to left, and it was maybe his best-struck ball of the series. It was in garbage time, but the Yankees will welcome any opportunity for their MVP to get hot.

  • Juan Soto hits a double, and the Dodgers are just going to let Honeywell wear this rather than use any other relievers.

  • Yankees 10, Dodgers 4

    Gleyber Torres breaks this thing open with a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. We will be playing a Game 5 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.

  • Yankees 7, Dodgers 4

    With runners on second and third, Alex Verdugo works an 11-pitch at-bat against Brent Honeywell and hits a grounder to second. Anthony Volpe beats the throw home, and Yankee Stadium can breathe a little easier.

  • In comes Brent Honeywell for the eighth and, if needed, the ninth inning for the Dodgers.

  • Luke Weaver strikes out Teoscar Hernández and Max Muncy to finish the top of the eighth, and the Yankees are three outs from forcing a Game 5.

  • Luke Weaver stays in and gets a huge out from Freddie Freeman to open the inning. The Yankees can avoid the Dodgers’ top of the order again if they get five of the next six batters out.

  • Knack gets three straight flyouts and is at 56 pitches through four innings of work. Very little reason for the Dodgers to remove him if they don’t do anything in the top of the eighth.

  • It’s still Landon Knack in for the Dodgers. It’s his fourth inning of work, and he’ll start it against Aaron Judge.

  • Weaver strikes Betts out swinging, and that leaves only six more outs to get.

  • And in comes Luke Weaver to face Mookie Betts with a man on second and two outs.

  • Wells delivers key insurance

    Austin Wells has yo-yo’d in and out of the lineup lately as manager Aaron Boone has weighed Wells’ offensive struggles against Jose Trevino’s defensive impact, but the reality is that Wells’ offensive ceiling is significantly higher even when he’s going cold.

    Swings like the one Wells delivered to send a Landon Knack heater to the second deck in right field are a nice reminder of that. That could be a huge insurance run for the Yankees, who now have a two-run cushion with 9 outs to go to avoid elimination.

  • Shohei Ohtani swings and misses at ball four in a full count. He can clearly swing a bat, but it’s beginning to look like the shoulder injury is affecting him.

  • Knack proceeds to get the next three batters on eight pitches, capped by a Juan Soto strikeout. Mark Leiter Jr. enters to face the 8-9-1 of the Dodgers lineup.

  • Yankees 6, Dodgers 4

    Austin Wells leads off the bottom of the sixth with a homer after coming up just short on the fly ball that led to the Volpe baserunning gaffe. He was 4-for-43 in the postseason entering this game.

    A much-needed insurance run for the Yankees.

  • Holmes posts a 1-2-3 sixth inning. Nine more outs for the Yankees to force a Game 5.

  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Fox’s Joe Davis hold up a sign for Dodgers radio voice Charley Steiner during the “Stand up to Cancer” segment. Steiner missed this season while battling multiple myeloma blood cancer and is now wheelchair-bound, down 50 pounds and dealing with constant back pain, but he was announced recently to be in remission.

    All the best to him.

  • Knack gets out of it to keep the bottom of the fifth scoreless. Clay Holmes stays in to face the Dodgers’ 5-6-7 hitters.

  • Aaron Judge reaches on a Tommy Edman error and Jazz Chisholm Jr. walks to put two on with no outs and Giancarlo Stanton up against Landon Knack in the fifth. Big chance for some insurance runs.

  • Hernández flies out on the first pitch, and the Yankees will go into the bottom of the fifth up one run. They are going to want to add to that.

  • Sloppy Yanks strike again

    A horrendous feed from Gleyber Torres on that would-be double play leads to a run. Freddie Freeman and his bad ankle busted it down the first baseline, beating an Anthony Volpe throw that, with a better toss from Torres, would have gotten the out.

    Instead, the Dodgers add another run, cutting the Yankees’ lead to just one after a Will Smith solo shot to start the inning.

  • And now the Yankees pull Tim Hill for Clay Holmes to face Teoscar Hernández with the tying run on first. This is already way more interesting than Yankees fans would want after the Volpe grand slam.

  • Yankees 5, Dodgers 4

    The call is overturned, and that’s another run for the Dodgers, who have now had two double plays overturned via challenge. There’s one on with two outs.

  • Mookie Betts hits into a fielder’s choice, and then Freddie Freeman hits into what LOOKED like a double play. However, replay shows he was safe, and the Dodgers are now challenging the call at first.

  • Shohei Ohtani welcomes Tim Hill with a line-drive single, and the Dodgers have the go-ahead run at the plate with no outs.

  • All things considered, that was a solid start for Luis Gil, who had pitched only once in the past month. He limited the walks like few were expecting, and the runs against him came down to two big swings. It’s better than other starts the Yankees have received this series.

  • Tommy Edman follows with a walk, and that will do it for Luis Gil. The Yankees pull him for lefty sidearmer Tim Hill to face Shohei Ohtani, with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman due up after.

  • Yankees 5, Dodgers 3

    On an 0-2 pitch, Will Smith cuts the lead to two runs with an opposite-field homer to lead off the fifth. Another of those homers that probably wouldn’t have been a homer at Dodger Stadium, but they ain’t playing at Dodger Stadium.

  • Knack allows a leadoff single, but a Gleyber Torres double play and Juan Soto groundout keep the inning scoreless. To the fifth we go, where Luis Gil takes the mound at 59 pitches.

  • Landon Knack comes in for the Dodgers. He will probably be tasked with eating some innings unless the Dodgers’ offense does something big soon.

  • October moment for Volpe

    For 11.5 innings, the great October cathedral that is Yankee Stadium was a library, rendered silent by some of the most uninspired baseball you’ll ever see. But with one swing, Anthony Volpe defibrillated the crowd into a deafening roar.

    It might not matter in the end — the Dodgers are still in command of the series and might still win this game — but the Yankees faithful got a moment for the highlight reel. That it came from Volpe, a local kid who grew up a Yanks fan, was even better.

  • One batter later, the inning is over. The Yankees are five innings away from forcing a Game 5.

  • The call is overturned. The Dodgers have one on with two outs in the top of the fourth.

  • And then Kiké Hernández hits into a double play to end the inning. The Dodgers are challenging the out call at first base, and it looks like they have a case.

  • Max Muncy draws the Dodgers’ first walk against Luis Gil. Much was made about Gil, the league leader in walks during the regular season, facing the top plate-discipline team in the league, but he didn’t issue his first free pass until the fourth inning.

  • Yankees fans had no issue with this one.

  • Shot of life in the Bronx

    Yankee Stadium was absolutely dead. And the team was on the brink of elimination.

    Anthony Volpe finally woke up the people of the Bronx with a huge grand slam. The Yankees and their fan base needed that badly.

  • Not the best start for the Dodgers’ bullpen game.

  • After Volpe’s baserunning error in the second, he finds redemption in the third. And more importantly, the Yankees’ offense is finally breaking through the Dodgers’ bullpen.

    The Dodgers bet big on Hudson being able to get it done there after he looked shaky for multiple batters. It blew up in their faces, but they also have an offense that can clearly score three runs in six innings.

  • Yankees 5, Dodgers 2

    GRAND SLAM BY ANTHONY VOLPE. The Yankees’ shortstop, who was moved down in the batting order today, comes through with a grand slam, his first homer since Sept. 21., to give the Yankees their first multi-run lead of the series.

    Yankee Stadium needed that.

  • Rizzo hits an infield fly, and that’s two outs. It will come down to Hudson against Anthony Volpe.

  • Stanton walks, and now Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior is out to talk to Daniel Hudson. He will stay in to face Anthony Rizzo with the bases loaded and one out.

    Landon Knack, a potential innings-eater for the Dodgers this game, is warming up.

  • Hudson throws another up-and-in pitch against Giancarlo Stanton and hits him on the hand, but Stanton swung. Instead of a HBP, it’s a foul ball.

  • Another baserunning blunder for Yankees

    With Anthony Volpe on second, Austin Wells smashed a fastball deep to center field that clanged off the fence, seemingly setting up an easy run scored for Volpe. But Volpe barely went halfway to third base while the ball was in the air and then misread it when it crashed off the wall beyond the outstretched glove of Enrique Hernandez, leaving him stuck between second and third — and not giving himself nearly enough time to score.

    Volpe ended up at third base and scored shortly thereafter on an Alex Verdugo groundout, but it was still an inexcusable baserunning blunder that exemplifies New York’s trouble on the basepaths all season long. The Yankees’ inability to do the little things well has hurt them time and time again in this series.
