    After an instant classic in Game 1, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are back at it again on Saturday night in Game 2 of the 2024 World Series.

    Freddie Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history to win the opener for the Dodgers, who took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Fall Classic. Freeman’s historic 10th-inning blast capped a thrilling game at Dodger Stadium that had a little bit of everything: the first World Series meeting between the two historic franchises since 1981.

    “This is the best thing,” Freeman told reporters after the game.

    Hoping to even the series, $162 million left-hander Carlos Rodon gets the win for the Yankees, while $325 million rookie right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts Game 2 for the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

    Freddie Freeman’s Grand Slam: “The greatest baseball moment I’ve ever experienced”

    LOS ANGELES – It was Kirk Gibson again.

    It was Roy Hobbs in The Natural.

    It was classic Hollywood.

    “It might be the greatest baseball moment I’ve ever experienced,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

    Freddie Freeman, who a week ago could barely walk because of his badly sprained ankle, left the team this summer and didn’t know whether he would return with his 3-year-old son fighting for his life, took the stage Friday evening before a cheering crowd of 52,394 spectators and created one of the most dramatic events in World Series history.

    With one swing of the bat, Freeman created a memory that will never be forgotten in Dodgers history: a two-out walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning that propelled the Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over the Dodgers New York Yankees led Game 1 of the World Series.

    LOS ANGELES – As Freddie Freeman turned Dodger Stadium into a blue sky Friday night, Nestor Cortes made the long, arduous journey there that was often hell for those on the wrong side of history.

    Here’s the thing about walk-off home runs, like Freeman’s game-ending first grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series: There’s just no way around grumpily trudging through someone else’s group and into your own dungeon of demons.

    After Freeman destroyed the first pitch, Cortes threw it into the top 10Th Cortes was furious as he sent the inning 409 feet into an insane right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, turning a one-run New York Yankees lead into a 6-3 Dodgers victory.

    And then he became pragmatic, immediately sitting down and watching a replay of the fateful pitch — a fastball that also should have been two or three inches higher.

    And then he took perspective and decided not to think about the fact that his name was forever enshrined in baseball history, a lasting connection to Ralph Branca and Dennis Eckersley and Mariano Rivera and Mitch Williams, pitchers who may have been outstanding, but gave up at the worst of times.
