In an exciting and frenetic start to the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers managed to overcome the New York Yankees with a result of 6 to 3.
The game, which took place on Friday, will be remembered not only for the score, but for Freddie Freeman’s spectacular grand slam in the 10th inning.
However, for Cuban Néstor Cortés it will surely be a perfectly forgettable day (although it is impossible) since it was precisely he who received the shocking hit that gave victory to Los Angeles.
The match began with tense competitiveness, with the Dodgers striking first in the fifth period. However, the Mules turned the score around with a superb home run by Giancarlo Stanton one inning later.
In the eighth, Ohtani tied the score thanks to a sacrifice hit by Mookie Betts, and the drama was already beginning to reign in the stadium.
At the top of the tenth inning, thanks to a score by Jazz Chisholm Jr., the New Yorkers took the lead again. However, the Dodgers’ determination was evident as they loaded the bases, creating a crucial opportunity to change the course of the game.
Freeman, with his impressive connection, unleashed madness among the local fans, who saw how his team withstood the pressure and responded strongly.
