The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the 2024 World Series win Wednesday night in New York with a 7-6 victory over the Yankees in Game 5.

LOS ANGELES - The Dodgers didn't get a parade after winning the World Series in 2020 because of the COVID. This year will be different. For the second time in five seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions. It took a supremely ugly Game 5 Wednesday night to get them there. Entering with a 3-1 series lead but perhaps more than a few nerves after a rough loss to the New York Yankees in Game 4, the Dodgers fell behind 5-0 before a chaotic comeback put the Commissioner’s Trophy in their hands with a 7-6 win. It is a win few observers saw coming when the postseason began, even with one of the most talented lineups in baseball. With a rotation ravaged by injuries, the Dodgers overwhelmed opponents on offense and got just enough quality pitching to make it work. Freddie Freeman, who homered in a record four straight games to open the Fall Classic, was named World Series MVP after the game.
