Dodgers vs. Yankees score, live updates: Los Angeles aims to win the World Series in Game 4 in New York

5 minutes, 17 seconds Read

The New York Yankees have their backs against the wall in New York on Tuesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers try to complete a World Series victory – their first since 2012 – and secure a second title under manager Dave Roberts. It was a dismal series for the Yankees' greatest slugger, as Aaron Judge batted just .083 and went 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts in the first three games of that series. He's not the only Yankee struggling; The Bronx Bombers are batting just .186 as a team in the series, despite both Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto swinging the bat well.

If you're a Dodgers fan, Game 4 of The Freddie Freeman Show could be a crowning achievement in Los Angeles for the former Atlanta star, who joins Hank as just the third player to hit home runs in the first three games of a World Series Bauer (1958 Yankees) and Barry Bonds (2002 Giants) – and he added another in the first inning of Game 4, making him the first player ever to hit a home run in the first four games of a World Series. Freeman has actually hit a home run in his last six World Series games, starting with his 2021 World Series win with the Braves.

Luis Gil (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 4.0 IP, 3 K, 3 BB in the 2024 postseason) is on the mound for the Yankees, their season on the line, while the Dodgers pass the ball to Ben Casparius (1-0) passed, 0.00 ERA, 4.1 IP, 4 K, 2 BB).

  • Hudson throws another up-and-in pitch to Giancarlo Stanton and hits his hand, but Stanton swings. Instead of an HBP, it's a foul ball.

  • Another base run error by the Yankees

    With Anthony Volpe at second, Austin Wells hit a fastball deep to center field that bounced off the fence and appeared to give Volpe an easy run. But Volpe barely reached halfway to third base while the ball was in the air, then misread it as it bounced off the wall behind Enrique Hernandez's outstretched glove, leaving him stuck between second and third base – and himself didn't leave nearly enough time to score.

    Volpe ended up at third base and scored shortly after on an Alex Verdugo groundout, but it was still an inexcusable baserunning error that exemplifies New York's problems on the basepaths all season. The Yankees' inability to do the little things well has hurt them time and time again in this series.

  • An update on Mookie Betts' friends in right field.

  • Jazz Chisholm hits another near-homer to right field, but a perfect play by Mookie Betts prevents Judge from scoring and Chisholm taking second base. Still, there are runners on the corners with one out for the Yankees.

  • Daniel Hudson throws up and in and catches Aaron Judge's hand on a check swing. It's a free base for the Yankees, but probably more painful than one would want for an already struggling hitter.

  • Daniel Hudson will fill in for Ben Casparius as the Yankees move to 2-3-4. The Dodgers will likely throw everything at the Yankees tonight as long as they have the lead.

  • Freddie Freeman flies low to the right to end the top of the third. At this point, it's news that he's dropping out.

  • Yankees fans chant “F*** you Freddie.” They didn't appreciate what he did to their favorite ball team.

  • Shohei Ohtani hits a fly ball to the warning track. It's caught by Aaron Judge, but that's a good sign that his shoulder isn't hurting him too much.

  • Volpe did exactly what the Yankees have done all season.

  • Dodgers 2, Yankees 1

    Volpe scores on an RBI groundout by Alex Verdugo, but that's all the Yankees get in the bottom of the second when Gleyber Torres flies out to end the inning.

  • The Dodgers have Daniel Hudson, one of their better arms, warming up, likely in case this rally reaches the top of the order.

  • Freddie Freeman is still getting around.

  • Austin Wells smashes a near-homer to center field with Anthony Volpe at second base, and Volpe somehow doesn't score.

    After a terrible baserunning performance, the Yankees have two runners in scoring position and one out, but that will be significant if they can't convert here.

  • There's a big breakthrough for the Yankees. With Lux still at second, Tommy Edman hit another line drive down the right field line. Another pitch would have scored a run, but Anthony Rizzo got it instead, doubling Lux to end the inning.

    Gil struck out 38 pitches in two innings.

  • After a leadoff double from Gavin Lux, the Yankees are already pushing on the Jets.

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. advances the runners with a groundout, but another groundout by Giancarlo Stanton leaves the Yankees scoreless in the first. And with the Dodgers up 2-0, they could use their upper arms tonight.

  • You know what, the Yankees will take this. Judge falls behind 0-2 and then tries to score two goals against Ben Casparius and miss one of them. The Yankees threaten a response after Freeman's home run.

  • Here is the fan who will be more famous tomorrow than yesterday.
