Editor’s note: This story has been updated with the results of Game 4 and the start time for Game 5.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will make a second attempt to close out the World Series on the road as they take a 3-1 lead in Game 5 at Yankee Stadium.

The New York Yankees avoided a sweep in Game 4, blowing an early lead but then adding a string of runs late to claim an 11-4 victory that kept alive their hopes of becoming the first team to win one was able to make up for a 3-0 deficit in the World Series.

The Yankees will try to force a Game 6 behind Gerrit Cole, who has excelled this postseason. Los Angeles will respond with Jack Flaherty, who hasn’t been great this postseason.

The Yankees are slight home favorites.
