LOS ANGELES (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton has been coming to Dodger Stadium since he was a kid. Seems like every time he returns, he sends a special souvenir into the outfield seats.
The opener of this Yankees-Dodgers World Series was no exception.
Stanton hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning to put New York ahead, his latest big drive for a Yankees team chasing the franchise's 28th title. It wasn't enough in a 6-3, 10-inning thriller of a loss to Los Angeles on Friday night that Freddie Freeman finished with a two-out, walk-off grand slam.
“You never want that ending,” Stanton said long after the game in a nearly empty Yankees clubhouse. “You've got to win four anyways. No one said it's going to be easy."
