This day in Los Angeles Dodgers history saw the team start the 2024 World Series in dramatic fashion thanks to Freddie Freeman delivering a walk-off win over the New York Yankees in Game 1.
Excitement and anticipation was at an all-time high with the Yankees and Dodgers meeting in the World Series, renewing a historic rivalry, and the opening game at Dodger Stadium certainly did not disappoint.
Will Smith’s sacrifice fly provided the Dodgers with a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning, but the Yankees immediately responded behind Giancarlo Stanton’s two-run homer off Jack Flaherty in the sixth.
