Anthony Volpe's grand slam Tuesday night lifted New York to an 11-4 win in Game 4, giving the Yankees and their fans hope as they now trail by 1 in the third game of the series. The young shortstop's impact brought New York's offense to life as the Bronx Bombers scored 9 hits, including home runs from the aforementioned Volpe as well as a 3-run shot from Gleyber Torres. The Yankees' bullpen was shut out in the final 5 innings, while the Dodgers gave up 10 runs in the final 6 innings.

Most of the Dodgers' offense came from Freddie Freeman, who hit a home run in the first^st with Mookie Betts on board for his 4th^Th Round-tripper of the series and an MLB record of 6^Th Straight game in the Fall Classic with a home run.

Hope for the Yankees takes the field on Wednesday in the form of their ace Gerrit Cole. He was brilliant in Game 1, throwing 6 innings with 4 hits and 1 run ball. Jack Flaherty takes the mound for Los Angeles. The right-hander was also a force in Game 1, allowing just 2 runs in 5.1 innings.

With the loss in Game 4, the Dodgers' (-800) chances of winning the World Series decreased by 60% and the Yankees' (+550) chances of winning it all improved by 45%.

Projected starting players for Los Angeles @ New York – World Series Game 5

● Pitching matchup on Wednesday (October 30): Jack Flaherty vs. Gerrit Cole

○ Dodgers: Flaherty (1-2, 6.10 ERA) – Acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline, the veteran has been the Dodgers' ace since arriving in Southern California. However, he was inconsistent in the postseason and had a miserable performance after every good game. In the NLCS, after blanking the Mets in Game 1, Flaherty lasted only 3 innings and gave up 8 runs in Game 5.

○ Yankees: Cole (1-0, 2.82 ERA) – The Yankees' undisputed ace has been exceptional throughout the postseason. New York has won three of its four starts in October. The only loss was Game 1 of that series, when they lost in 10 innings on the Freeman Slam. He has allowed 7 earned runs in 22.1 innings.
