The Yankees believe they “still have a shot” at the World Series after decisive victory over the Dodgers; LA wants to win Game 5

The New York Yankees finally produced the offensive performance their fans were hoping for at the start of their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, falling 11-4 to avoid a World Series win on Tuesday night.

The Dodgers still lead the series 3-1 with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night in the Bronx. The game begins at 8:08 p.m. ET and fans can watch it on FOX.

The Yankees needed hope, and they got it in the form of a grand slam from Anthony Volpe a few innings after Freddie Freeman gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with another home run in the first inning.

“It’s my dream, but it was the dreams of all my friends, all my cousins, probably my sister’s dream too. But winning the World Series was by far the most important thing. Nothing else compares. So I still have a lot of that. “There’s a lot of work ahead of us,” Volpe told FOX Sports’ Derek Jeter after the game.

This time, New York didn’t face a Dodgers starter.

Los Angeles manager Dave Robers used every substitute from start to finish to give his rotation a break. The coin toss didn’t pay off. Once the Yankees hitters got going, it didn’t seem like they were going to stop.

The Dodgers will look to close out the series with Jack Flaherty in the starting lineup. The Yankees will try to force a Game 6 in Los Angeles with Gerrit Cole as the starter.

“As far as results go, it feels good for me to have six guys in my stable who are doing well and rested,” said Robert.

Freeman has hit a home run in six straight World Series games.

“I’ll look back on it when we hopefully win and get this thing done tomorrow,” Freeman said. “Pretty cool. Of course I hope I can continue tomorrow.”

No team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in the World Series. The only team to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a series was the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who did so against the Yankees in the American League Championship.

“They’re going to fight,” Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts said. “If you’ve made it this far, you’ve got a resilient team that will fight all the time.”

Wednesday night is another chance for the Yankees to take a 1-0 lead.

“We’re in a tough spot, but there’s still a lot to play for and anything can happen,” Cole said, via MLB.com. “Hey, we’re still in the World Series. Hey, we’re in the Bronx. We still have a chance at this thing.”
