To win it all, the Dodgers had to give it all. Had to stare down an ugly early deficit. Had to empty their bullpen. Had to rally against Gerrit Cole and then against the Yankees’ best relievers. Had to get a World Series-clinching save from starter Walker Buehler, of all people.

The Yankees were undone by a horrifying 5th inning.

They crammed in crowded 4 and D trains, packed the Bronx’s sports bars and streamed through the Yankee Stadium gates, ready to lend their voices to the comeback cause. But it took all of three batters for those pinstripe-clad fans to be quieted, all of three batters for the seemingly unstoppable Dodgers to assert themselves in one of the most intimidating road environments in sports.

And so the Yankees, who brought their band of slugging superstars to the West Coast, head east with a daunting deficit against a Dodgers team that had been an out away from angst in the opener, yet is now two wins from a ring. What remains to be seen is if the tone will shift at Yankee Stadium, and if Ohtani will be back in the lineup in the Bronx.

Thirty-six years after a gimpy Kirk Gibson limped to the plate to smack a Game 1 walk-off homer, Freddie Freeman came to bat with a badly injured right ankle, the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th and a chance to summon October magic of his own. With one, no-doubt swing, Freeman rocketed the ball into the right-field pavilion seats for the first-ever World Series walk-off grand slam that gave the Dodgers an epic 6-3 victory in a Game 1 thriller Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

In this thrilling episode of Chase for 28, the Yankees are back in the World Series for the first time since 2009! We dive deep into their ALCS Game 5 victory over the Guardians, securing the American League Championship with a 5-2 win in 10 innings. Giancarlo Stanton, named ALCS MVP, tied the game in the sixth with a clutch two-run homer, while Juan Soto delivered the knockout blow—a three-run blast in the 10th that sent the Yankees to the Fall Classic.

We'll break down the big moments, including Stanton's postseason dominance and Soto’s game-changing home run. Plus, we discuss Carlos Rodón’s gritty performance and what’s next for the Yankees as they prepare to battle either the Dodgers or the Mets for their 28th World Series title. Tune in as we celebrate the Yankees' 41st pennant and get ready for the final chapter of their championship quest!
