The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their second World Series title in five years, overcoming a five-run deficit to defeat the New York Yankees 7-6 in Game 5. Freddie Freeman's outstanding performance, including a pivotal two-run single in Game 5, earned him the World Series MVP, capping a series in which he tied the record for RBIs in a World Series with 12. The Yankees' defense faltered, committing three errors in the fifth inning, which allowed the Dodgers to score five unearned runs. Gerrit Cole's strong start unraveled due to these defensive lapses, and despite the Yankees regaining the lead, additional errors led to their downfall. The Dodgers' victory was sealed by sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in the eighth inning. This win marks Shohei Ohtani's first World Series title in his debut season with the Dodgers.
