The Los Angeles Dodgers brought back vivid memories of championships in 1981 and 1988, all wrapped inside a single emotional evening as they powered their way to the early advantage in the World Series.
Freddie Freeman hit a game-ending grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning as Los Angeles rallied for a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday to win Game 1.
Trailing 3-2 in the 10th, the Dodgers got a one-out walk from Gavin Lux, followed by an infield single from Tommy Edman off Jake Cousins (0-1). Both runners advanced on Shohei Ohtani's foul-out to left field. Mookie Betts was walked intentionally before Freeman launched a first-pitch fastball from left-hander Nestor Cortes into the seats in right field.
