The Yankees kept their season alive on Tuesday night. Now, they get to do it all over again tonight.
The Yankees face the Dodgers in a must-win World Series Game 5 Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees staved off elimination with an 11-4 win in Game 4 on Tuesday night but still trail in the best-of-seven series, 3-1, so a loss would end their season.
The Yankees will have their ace, Gerrit Cole, on the mound. He went six-plus innings in Game 1 on Friday night, allowing one run on four hits while striking out four.
The Dodgers will counter with their own ace, Jack Flaherty, who allowed two runs and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings in Game 1.
