The Dodgers are champions. Los Angeles stormed back from a 5-0 deficit tonight (with some help from the Yankees’ defense) for a 7-6 win to clinch the Series in five games.
It’s the second title in five years for the Dodgers. While the pandemic restrictions limited their celebration in 2020, they’ll get to host a parade this time around. The Dodgers were baseball’s best team in the regular season, leading MLB with 98 wins while outscoring opponents by 179 runs. There were nevertheless questions heading into October about whether a pitching staff battered by injuries could hold up.
More to come.
