NEW YORK () — Freddie Freeman opened Game 4 for the Dodgers by making World Series history, blasting yet another home run off the Yankees.
It marked the fourth game in a row with a Freeman homer in this series – and six in a row for him personally, dating back to the last two games of the 2021 World Series when he was with Atlanta.
Freeman has now personally outscored the entire Yankees roster and seems destined to be named World Series MVP. He has 9 RBIs in the series, the most ever by a single player. He’s also the only player to hit homers in six consecutive World Series games.
The Dodgers are now up 2-0 in Game 4. At 3-0 in the series, they have a shot at sweeping the Yankees in New York Tuesday.
