World series game 6
“Man, if I made one million dollars I would come in at six in the morning, sweep the stands, wash the uniforms, clean out the office, manage the team and play the games.” – Snider, Duke. https://enem-inep.com/ Hall of Famer. Widely Attributed.
Who are the starting pitchers?Dodgers: RHP Jack Flaherty (13-7, 3.17 ERA during regular season)Flaherty pitched well in Game 1 of the World Series, allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings, and he will now get a chance to close out the Fall Classic for his hometown team. The right-hander struggled on regular rest against the Mets, allowing eight runs over three innings in Game 5 of the NLCS. But outside of that, Flaherty has been solid for the Dodgers this postseason.
• The Dodgers and Yankees had a World Series preview June 7-9 at Yankee Stadium, with Los Angeles winning two of the three games. Teoscar Hernández had a go-ahead, two-run double in the 11th inning of the first game, a 2-1 Dodgers win, then hit two homers in an 11-3 rout the next night. The Yanks salvaged the finale with a 6-4 win, powered by Trent Grisham’s three-run homer off Tyler Glasnow.
So while they didn’t finish the job Tuesday night and have their hands full with Cole, there’s no denying the Dodgers are still in the driver’s seat as they try to win the World Series for the second time in five seasons and the first time in a full season since 1988.
Tommy Edman’s reaction to the fan interference play with Mookie Betts in the first inning: “That looked ridiculous from my perspective. The guy was trying to yank his glove off, pulling at his wrist, looked like he got ejected, and I’m glad he did. I’ve never seen anything like that. That was unacceptable.”
Who wins the first game of the world series
Yankees legend Derek Jeter, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch of game three, was a five-time World Series winner in the Bronx – but the Yankees have not won a ‘Fall Classic’ since he was on the team in 2009
Despite its name, the World Series remains solely the championship of the Major League Baseball teams in the United States and Canada, although MLB, its players, and North American media sometimes erroneously refer to World Series winners as “world champions of baseball”.
As manager Aaron Boone and several players preached following Monday’s 4-2 loss to fall into the dreaded 3-0 hole in the World Series against the Dodgers, the Yankees cannot come back all at once. It will require a singular focus on the game in front of them while acknowledging that there is substantial work to do beyond that. And if the Yankees are to become the first team in MLB history to come back from down 3-0 in the World Series — an uphill battle that requires only three more wins after New York’s 11-4 victory over the Dodgers on Tuesday in the Bronx — they must carry the positives from Game 4 forward and find more ways to play their best ball before it’s too late.

Who wins the world series game today
Anthony Volpe delivered the biggest hit for the Yankees this entire series: a grand slam that erased the lead the Dodgers got when Freddie Freeman notched a home run in a record-setting sixth straight World Series game.
In all best-of-seven postseason series, teams taking a 3-0 lead have gone on to win the series 39 of 40 times (98%), including 31 sweeps. Just two teams down 3-0 have even forced a Game 7: the 2020 Astros, who lost to the Rays in the ALCS, and the 2004 Red Sox, who beat the Yankees in the ALCS. The last team to force a Game 5 when down 3-0 in a World Series was the Reds in 1970 against the Orioles.
Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, Alex Verdugo’s RBI single chased Jack Flaherty in the second, and Giancarlo Stanton’s third-inning homer against Ryan Brasier built a 5-0 Yankees lead.
