Ohtani’s Twin Homers Fuel Dodgers’ Epic Comeback Win Over Yankees in World Series Rematch

In a thrilling World Series rematch at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers staged a stunning comeback to defeat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Friday night, fueled by Shohei Ohtani's electrifying performance. The game echoed the drama of their last encounter, when the Yankees infamously collapsed in Game 5 of the World Series.

The night kicked off with a bang as reigning MVPs Aaron Judge and Ohtani traded first-inning home runs, knotting the score at 1-1. The Yankees surged ahead in the second, with Austin Wells and Trent Grisham blasting homers, followed by Paul Goldschmidt's solo shot to build a 5-2 lead. But the Dodgers, refusing to relive past glories, roared back.

Ohtani’s second homer in the sixth sparked a four-run rally. Teoscar Hernández and Will Smith chipped in singles, and Freddie Freeman’s RBI double chased Yankees starter Max Fried. Reliever Jonathan Loáisiga faltered, allowing Andy Pages to tie the game with an RBI single, and a bases-loaded walk to Michael Conforto handed the Dodgers a 6-5 edge.

The seventh inning sealed the deal, with Smith and Freeman setting the stage for Pages’ two-run single. The Dodgers’ relentless offense and the Yankees’ unraveling bullpen turned a deficit into a triumphant victory, setting the tone for the weekend series.

Game two of this heated rivalry hits FOX on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET. Buckle up—this rematch is delivering.
