Thanks in part to a big night from Anthony Volpe, the Yankees fought off elimination to keep their season alive. It brings them to their second must-win game in two days and the same do-or-die stakes.
Volpe’s grand slam awakened a Yankees offense that had previously been held to no more than three runs in each of the first three games. Last night, they scored 11. An early, history-making homer from Dodger Freddie Freeman wasn’t enough to keep the Dodgers ahead.
