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, eventually tying the game.
• 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 and didn't look back.
• Star starter Walker Buehler entered in the ninth inning and retired the Yankees in order to close it out for L.A.
• Yankees ace Gerrit Cole faced Dodgers righty Jack Flaherty, who was pulled in the second.
• The Dodgers won their eighth World Series and first since 2020, while the Yankees' drought since 2009 persisted.

The New York Yankees avoided a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but couldn't force the series back to the opposite coast.

Los Angeles on Wednesday won the World Series with a 7-6 victory, coming back down 5-0 in the fifth inning after a disastrous defensive display from New York.

Despite a strong game on the mound from starter Gerrit Cole, the Yankees failed to keep pushing toward their 28th World Series title.

The Dodgers gave the nod to veteran righty Jack Flaherty, but he was pulled in the second inning as Dave Roberts shuffled between his bullpen again, eventually ending with star starter Walker Buehler closing it out.
