    Yankees vs Dodgers Game 1 score, live updates: World Series between two legendary franchises begins in Los Angeles

    Umito Posted on

    It’s the final showdown of the Major League Baseball season, and as the leaves change color, this year’s World Series takes on familiar shades of Dodger Blue and Yankee pinstripes. For the 12th time – their first meeting having taken place in 1941 – the Yankees and the Dodgers face each other in the World Series.

    Their most recent World Series meeting, in 1981, will take on a particularly special meaning this year, with Friday’s Game 1 coming a few days later the death of Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuelawho was the rookie star of that 1981 championship team at the height of “Fernandomania”.

    While the tape story of this series might be about the names and logos on the front of the uniforms, this year’s game is about the newcomers to this legendary baseball rivalry. Shohei Ohtani participates in the World Series for the first time in his first season with the Dodgers, along with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also make their first appearances with the Yankees.

    Both clubs have been off for almost a week, so pitchers are lined up for the two teams that finished with the best records in their respective leagues during the regular season. In Game 1, Gerrit Cole (1-0, 3.31 ERA, 16.1 IP, 12 K, 6 BB in 2024 postseason) takes the ball for the Yankees against Jack Flaherty (1-2, 7.04 ERA , 15.1 IP, 8K, 7). BB) for the Dodgers.

    • Pitcher duel up to 4

      Gerrit Cole matched Jack Flaherty’s four scoreless innings and did so with nine fewer pitches, with Cole at 51 to Flaherty’s 60. We also just saw Cole’s fastest pitch of the night: a 98.4 mph fastball to coax a broken bat from Freddie Freeman for the second out of the fourth inning.

      Both pitchers roll, but someone has to blink at some point.

    • And there’s also a scoreless fourth inning. Here are the replies of the two launchers up to four:

      Cole: 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 51 pitches

      Flaherty: 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 60 pitches

    • Jack Flaherty throws his best inning of the game so far. After needing 40 pitches to get through the first two innings, he needed 20 total to go 1-2-3 innings in the third and fourth.

      There’s a lot of game left, but so far it’s been a pitching duel at Dodger Stadium.

    • Gerrit Cole struck out Shohei Ohtani to keep the game scoreless for three innings. He’s on 36 pitches but has also allowed three balls over 350 feet so far tonight.

    • Why does Tommy Edman reach ninth if he was the NLCS MVP? Simply put, he’s the right-hander on the mound. Edman is a switch hitter, but he has the largest platoon splits of anyone on the Dodgers roster.

      This is confirmed, with a pop-out for the second out of the third inning. Signal Ohtani again.

    • Jack Flaherty cancels out an infield single by Gleyber Torres with a double play by Juan Soto (who had been working the count hard, as he does), then strikes out Aaron Judge to make it three scoreless.

      It is now at 52 locations. The Dodgers have been aggressive with their bullpen all postseason, but they let Flaherty pitch seven innings in Game 1 of the NLCS. With the absence of Evan Phillips in their bullpen, who was left off the roster due to arm fatigue, they may want Flaherty to go a little longer than usual.

    • The zone today was… inconsistent.

    • Gerrit Cole mows down the Dodgers’ 5-6-7 lineup in the bottom of the second. Unlike Flaherty, he has 23 pitches in two scoreless innings.

    • Smooth sailing for Flaherty to 2nd IP

      Jack Flaherty made it through the first two innings of Game 1 of the World Series unscathed. Considering the Dodger starter was obliterated for eight runs in his last start, that’s a big deal.

      Flaherty’s fastball averaged 91 mph that day against the Mets. So far tonight the heat is at 94.2. How long Flaherty can maintain this speed in this outing is something to watch.

    • Hear the emotional journey of a man running on an ankle that some feared would cause him to miss World Series games.

    • Flaherty works around the leadoff single and leaps over another comebacker at his feet from Alex Verdugo, to score a scoreless second.

      Flaherty is at 40 pitches in two. The Yankees haven’t had much hard contact with him, but they’re also working enough to keep that starting shot.

    • A comebacker from Anthony Rizzo hits Jack Flaherty on the foot, and it’s a painful first base in the second inning.

    • Freeman gets his first extra base hit of October

      Freddie Freeman’s ankle looked better than it has all postseason as he took advantage of Alex Verdugo’s early error to reach third base in the first. A fully operational Freeman would be huge for the Dodgers.

    • Baseball is a beautiful sport.

    • Teoscar Hernandez hits a 91.7 mph line drive…straight to Anthony Volpe in short to end the inning. No point for the Dodgers, despite some decent contacts in the first inning.

    • Freddie Freeman, back in the lineup after dealing with a bad ankle all postseason, gets the first hit of the game and goes third! Alex Verdugo missed the rebound off the wall and gave the veteran plenty of time to run.

      It is generously marked with a triple.

    • And then a flyout to the warning track to left field by Mookie Betts (caught by Alex Verdugo, who was traded to the Red Sox in exchange for Betts in 2020).

      The good news for the Yankees: two outs. The bad news: Dodgers hitters are already hitting pretty deep with their ace.
