“We faced every adversity possible and we overcame every single one,” Freeman said, who won his second title after 2021 with Atlanta, and rebounded from a sprained ankle to homer in each of the first four Series games.
• That five-run comeback? It was the largest in a World Series-clinching win, surpassing 1925 Game 7, when the Pirates trailed by four. This was the 120th World Series, so that’s quite the sample size.
No starting pitchers have been announced for Game 6 of the World Series, should it be necessary, but it would be a surprise if anyone other than the Yankees’ Carlos Rodon and the Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto got the start.
A structured playoff series began in 1969 when both the National and American Leagues were reorganized into two divisions each, East and West. The two division winners within each league played each other in a best-of-five League Championship Series to determine who would advance to the World Series. In 1985, the format changed to best-of-seven.
Jack Flaherty’s night is done for the Dodgers after he gave up another run in the bottom of the second. Anthony Volpe doubled, moved to the third on a fielder’s choice and came home on an Alex Verdugo single.
The Dodgers trailed 5-0 after four innings after the Yankee bats started off hot with back-to-back home runs from Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the first inning. They were the first back-to-back homers for the Bronx Bombers in the World Series since Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson did it in Game 5 in 1977, also against the Dodgers.
The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB). It has been contested since 1903 between the champion teams of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The winning team, determined through a best-of-seven playoff, is awarded the Commissioner’s Trophy.
In Japan, Ohtani’s victory with the Dodgers was celebrated with a special edition newspaper handed out to locals in Tokyo, according to CNN affiliate TV Asahi, while more fans celebrated the win at a watch party in Ohtani’s hometown of Iwate.
After a stunning walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the tenth inning Friday night by Freddie Freeman to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the World Series, the New York Yankees are looking to even the score Saturday night before returning to the Bronx.
Shohei Ohtani juuuuust missed a home run to right field, instead hitting a double off the wall. After a short hop at second base caught Gleyber Torres off guard, Ohtani moved to third as the ball dribbled into the infield.
• It was the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history and the second in the postseason, joining the Rangers’ Nelson Cruz in the 2011 AL Championship Series Game 2. The slam was the fifth of the postseason overall, tying ‘21 and 1998 for the most in a single postseason. The Dodgers are the 14th team with multiple grand slams in a single postseason, and they are one shy of tying the 2021 Red Sox and 1998 Braves at three for the most.
Hobbled by a badly sprained right ankle, Freeman homered on the first pitch he saw — a 92 mph inside fastball from Nestor Cortes — and raised his bat high before beginning his trot as the sellout crowd of 52,394 roared.

Another World is a cinematic platform action-adventure game designed by Éric Chahi and published by Delphine Software in November 1991. In North America it was published as Out of This World. The game tells the story of Lester, a young scientist who, as a result of an experiment gone wrong, finds himself on a dangerous alien world where he is forced to fight for his survival.
Another World was developed by Chahi alone over a period of about two years, with help with the soundtrack from Jean-François Freitas. Chahi developed his own game engine, creating all the game’s art and animations in vector form to reduce memory use, with some use of rotoscoping to help plan out character movements. Both narratively and gameplay-wise, he wanted the game to be told with little to no language or user-interface elements. The game was originally developed for the Amiga and Atari ST but has since been widely ported to other contemporary systems, including home and portable consoles and mobile devices. Chahi has since overseen release of various anniversary releases of the game.
Upon publishing, Delphine did not perform a playtest of the full game, only having previously tested the first portion of the game. Delphine’s U.S. publisher Interplay undertook a full playtest and Chahi fixed a number of bugs that arose from this. Interplay had also requested additional changes in the game, including making the game longer and changing the game’s introduction music. Chahi was adamant about retaining the game’s opening music, and had attempted to change Interplay’s minds by sending them an “infinite fax”, a looped piece of paper, with the message “keep the original intro music” on it. Only when Delphine’s lawyer got involved and told Interplay they legally could not change the music did Interplay relax this requirement.
Later in the game, the player acquires a laser pistol from a fallen foe. The pistol has three capabilities: a standard fire mode, the ability to create force fields to block enemy fire, and a powerful charged shot that can break through force fields and some walls. Enemies also have the same capabilities, requiring the player to take advantage of the three gun modes and the environment to overcome them.
Among many other accolades, Another World was named as number one top new Amiga game of 1992 by Amiga World and received the award for the Most Innovative New Game of the year from Electronic Gaming Monthly. In 2012, it became one of the first 14 titles added to the video game art exposition at the Museum of Modern Art. It also received the nomination for Game, Classic Revival at the 2014 National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) awards.
