They won Game 2 of the World Series, 4-2, over the New York Yankees to take a two games to none series lead. But they lost superstar Shohei Ohtani to a left shoulder injury on a stolen-base attempt in the seventh inning.

Game 5 world series 2024
If you asked many baseball fans, I’m guessing half would assume Kirk Gibson won this one. Who cares if he took only one swing? We still talk about that swing! But Hershiser capped his incredible 1988 season by pitching 24 2/3 (!) innings in the NLCS, then tossing two complete games in the World Series: 18 innings, two runs on seven hits, and six walks to 17 strikeouts.
For one brutal inning, the Dodgers did everything they could to maximize the damage. A dropped fly ball was Aaron Judge’s first error of the year, a throw in the dirt was Anthony Volpe’s low point in an otherwise good series, and Cole’s failure to cover first base was almost certainly his biggest mistake of the night. The Yankees gifted the Dodgers five unearned runs in the fifth, and then a catcher’s interference helped set the stage for their two-run rally in the eighth.
Cover me — The first tidbit involves pitchers not covering first base in a postseason game. There’s no comprehensive database on that, naturally. But the one play like that STATS does have in its database was a very similar brain cramp by a Dodger: Pedro Báez, in what became a game-changing, five-run eighth inning by the Cubs in Game 5 of the 2016 NLCS.

World series game
Kiké Hernández made a diving catch in center field on a flare hit by Giancarlo Stanton for the second out. With Anthony Banda warming up in the Dodgers’ bullpen, Flaherty struck out Anthony Rizzo to end the inning.
Any injuries of note?Yankees: Verdugo said that he would probably be sore after making a terrific catch in the 10th inning of Game 1. Rizzo is playing through two fractured fingers on his right hand, which is a pain tolerance issue, as the fractures won’t heal until the offseason. Infielder DJ LeMahieu (right hip impingement) has been continuing to hit and field throughout the playoffs.

The Yankees also needed to be unique in order to have hopes of a comeback in this series. No team has ever erased a 3-0 deficit in the World Series before. No team has even forced a sixth game from such a hole.
