World Series 2024 live score: Yankees vs. Dodgers updates, results, highlights from Game 1

By October 26, 2024No Comments

For the first time since 1981, two of the most high-profile, historic teams in baseball will meet in the World Series.

On Friday night, the Yankees will visit the Dodgers in Los Angeles to kick off the 2024 World Series. While baseball’s a sport where the top individual stars aren’t always guaranteed opportunities to go deep into the postseason, this year’s World Series matchup defies the sport’s logic by featuring some of league’s most recognizable players. 

Of course, that star conversation begins with the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani. After taking his talents from one side of L.A. to the other over the offseason, earning himself a record-breaking $700 million deal in the process, Ohtani put forth one of the best-ever offensive seasons. The Dodgers’ designated hitter now owns the first 50 homer-50 stolen base season in MLB history, and in his first postseason appearances, he’s helped Los Angeles reach the biggest stage in the game.

Even outside of Ohtani, the Dodgers have relied on consistent offensive production throughout the postseason. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman remain two of the best veteran hitters in the game, and some of the players in the bottom of manager Dave Roberts’ lineup, like Kike Hernandez and NLCS MVP Tommy Edman, have stepped up to the postseason stage.

Similar to the Dodgers, the Yankees’ playoff run has been all about their offensive production. In series wins over the Royals and Guardians, the team’s three sluggers — Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton — have combined for 10 home runs, with Stanton, the ALCS MVP, doing the heavy lifting. The top of the Yankees’ lineup can strike fear into any opposing pitcher, and it’s helped New York come out of the AL bracket with some thrilling victories. 

While pitching hasn’t been the main focus for either club in the postseason so far, both teams will turn toward arguably their best available starters on Friday. Jack Flaherty will get the ball for Los Angeles, while Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for New York in Game 1.

Two of the biggest spenders, most iconic franchises, and deepest lineups in MLB will each begin their quest for a World Series title on Friday, and the 2024 season comes down to a matchup between the postseason’s two No. 1 seeds: the Yankees and Dodgers.

10:56 p.m. — We have some controversy in Game 1. Kopech retired Austin Wells and Alex Verdugo, but with two outs, Torres lifts a pitch to the left field wall. A fan reaches over and catches the ball, making it a double instead of a go-ahead home run.

10:43 p.m. — Shohei Ohtani now represents the tying run on third base. His first World Series hit is a double off the right field wall, but Volpe bobbles the ball as it reaches the infield. Ohtani sprints to claim an extra bag.

10:37 p.m. — Alex Vesia took the mound for the Dodgers in the top of the eighth, and he does his job. Chisholm and Rizzo struck out, then Volpe lined out. Los Angeles has Edman, Ohtani and Betts due up in the bottom of the eighth.

9:51 p.m. — The Yankees are threatening more runs in the sixth inning. Against the Dodgers’ Anthony Banda, Chisholm singled, Volpe was intentionally walked and Wells reached on an infield hit after a huge diving stop from Edman to prevent a run. The bases are juiced for Alex Verdugo.

9:43 p.m. — Jack Flaherty’s night is over. One mistake to Stanton changed everything, but otherwise, he was excellent through five frames. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed two runs and five hits while striking out six. 

Yankees 2, Dodgers 1

9:42 p.m. HOME RUN — Giancarlo Stanton stays red hot. After his huge ALCS performance, he picks up his sixth home run of the postseason on a sky-scraping shot to give the Yankees the lead. 

9:40 p.m. — Judge goes down swinging, his third strikeout against Flaherty in as many at bats. 

9:38 p.m. — Soto singles to begin the sixth inning. With Judge and Stanton due up next, this could be a massive series of pitches for Flaherty. 

9:34 p.m. — Lux flies out, and the fifth inning comes to an end. However, Los Angeles has the first lead of the World Series, which could be crucial in what’s been a pitcher’s duel so far.

Dodgers 1, Yankees 0
