Yankees Hit Back To Keep World Series Hopes Alive

Share

The New York Yankees kept their World Series hopes alive, kick-started by Anthony Volpe's third-inning grand slam at Yankee Stadium, to record an 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead the best-of-seven series 3-1.

Despite avoiding a 4-0 sweep, the Yankees must make history if they are to deny the Dodgers as no team has recovered from 3-0 down to win a World Series.

That sweep looked on the cards in the first inning when, in a repeat scenario from game three, the in-form Freddie Freeman - who has homered in each game of this series - fired another two-run shot to right field.

The Yankees tried to hit straight back as Gleyber Torres lifted a fly ball down the right-field foul line. Mookie Betts took a clean catch in front of the wall but a Yankees supporter tried to prise the ball out of Betts' glove - and Torres was ruled out on fan interference.
