The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees have completed the World Series. The Dodgers have advanced to the World Series again in four years. They have a chance to challenge for the championship in a 162-game season, not in a 60-game season.
The Dodgers will have its first showdown with the New York Yankees, who advanced to the World Series for the first time in 15 years since 2009. Attention is also drawn to the showdown between Aaron Judge, who ranks 0th for American League MVP, and Shohei Ohtani, who ranks 0th for National League MVP. It is truly the "dream match" that the Major League has been looking forward to.
The Dodgers beat the New York Mets 10-5 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, which took place at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on Monday (Korea time). The Dodgers had four wins and two losses overall in the series, advancing to the World Series for the first time in four years.
While Teoscar Hernandez and Will Smith, who had been silent until Game 5, began to revive, Tommy "Hyun-soo" Edman, the Korean national team of the WBC (World Baseball Classic), played his part as the fourth batter with two long balls. Ohtani hit a hit that started the counterattack from 0-1 inferiority and a timely hit that ran away in the sixth inning when the lull continued.
In the mound, bull pen games worked. Starter Michael Kopek allowed one run in one inning despite poor control of the ball in the early stages. Rookie Ben Kasparius pitched one ⅓ inning without allowing any run. Anthony Vanda (two runs in one ⅓ inning), Ryan Brazier (one run in one ⅓), Evan Phillips (in one inning), Daniel Hudson (in one inning) and Blake Treinen (in two innings) pitched in succession.
The Mets gave up five runs after two innings by starting pitcher Sean Munaya. They gave up two innings in the fourth and fifth innings to end the game without losing a point, and in the seventh inning, they sent out Senga Godai as an intermediate pitcher to stage an all-out fight, but failed to revive their firepower by scoring 12 runs on 14 hits in Game 5.
#New York Mets starting lineup
Francisco Lindor (striker)-Brandon Nemo (left fielder)-Mark Vientos (third baseman)-Pete Alonso (first baseman)-Jessie Winker (designated hitter)-Starling Marte (right fielder)-Tyrone Taylor (center fielder)-Jeff McNeil (second baseman)-Francisco Alvarez (catcher), starting pitcher Sean Munaya
#Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup
Shohei Ohtani (center fielder)-Mookie Betts (right fielder)-Teosca Hernandez (left fielder)-Tommy Edman (striker)-Max Muncy (first baseman)-Kike Hernandez (third baseman)-Andy Farragh (center fielder)-Will Smith (catcher)-Chris Taylor (second baseman), starting pitcher Michael Kopek
The Mets scored a point in the first inning. Kopec's poor control as the first pitcher of the Dodgers took the opportunity by standing still. Leadoff hitter Lindor got on base with a walk, and after hitting second base on a wild pitch, he advanced to third base on Nemo's ground ball to second base. After Vientos struck out swinging, luck came to the Mets. The Dodgers' infield was scrambled by Alonso's big ground ball toward second base. Lindor homered on Taylor's error.
The Dodgers continued to be in crisis. The Dodgers lost points to the Mets, faced with a crisis of two outs and runners on the second base, and Kopek allowed Winker to walk. With runners on the first and second bases with two outs, Kopek handled Marte to the right field, ending the Dodgers' defense in the top of the first inning. Kopek threw 25 pitches in the first inning alone.
The Dodgers needed only four at-bats to regain the lead. Leadoff hitter Ohtani got on base with a heavy hit that penetrated the tight defense. Betts struck out, but Teoscar Hernandez, who was in the middle of a five-game hitless run in the Championship Series, made a hit to directly hit the fence in the middle to make the game first and third bases with one out. Edman, the fourth batter, turned the game around with a two-run double that fell to the left of the left field.
Taking the lead by 2-1 in the top of the second inning, the Dodgers put rookie Ben Kasparius on the line as its second pitcher from the defense. Kasparius was on the verge of losing a point due to a walk and a hit after two outs, but managed to keep his lead after hitting a fly ball to the shortstop. In the top of the third inning, Anthony Banda, who was on the first base with one out, struck out McNeil with three outs and the bases loaded with two outs.
As the three pitchers maintained the one-run lead, the batters regained their strength. As Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run homer, Edman hit a two-run homer to widen the score to 4-1. The ball count was 1-2 but he hit a fastball of 91.3 mph (146.9 km) to hit the ball over the left fence. The speed of the hit was 104.1 miles (167.5 km) and the flying distance measured 406 feet (123.8 m).
After Edman's home run and Muncy walked to the base, the Mets decided to replace the pitcher. However, the Dodgers' lineup did not stop. Smith hit a two-run homer off Phil Maiton with two outs and a runner on the second base, making the score 6-1.
Vientos' two-run homerun in the fourth inning pushed the Mets to a three-run gap. It was Vientos' fifth homerun in this postseason. The Mets declared an all-out effort to change the mood by putting in closing pitcher Edwin Díaz in the bottom of the fourth inning. 메이저놀이터
The Dodgers also allowed no additional runs until the fifth inning after allowing a homer, and sent out its fifth pitcher Evan Phillips in the sixth inning, continuing the bullpen game smoothly. With the bases loaded with two outs, Phillips blocked Winker with a fly ball to the left field.
After hitting two homeruns in the third inning, the Dodgers' lineup, which had been dormant for a while, ran away one more point in the sixth inning due to Ohtani's timely hit. Smith's walk and Taylor's bunt hit set the table for Ohtani to first and second base with no outs. Ohtani's missed hit sank in front of center fielder Taylor, leading to a lucky hit. The Dodgers led 7-3.
Daniel Hudson, who took the mound as relief pitcher in the seventh inning, had consecutive hits by Taylor and McNeil after one out, and gave up another chance to the Mets. It was a crisis of massive loss, but he ended the inning by allowing only one run by blocking Álvarez with a sacrifice fly to the right field. With two outs and a runner on the first base, he struck out Lindor. In the eighth inning, Blake Treinen struck out Nemo, Vientos, and Alonso.
The Dodgers sealed the scoring in the eighth inning when it started 7-4. Taylor's hit and Ohtani's walk gave the Dodgers a chance to hit first and second bases with no outs. Betts' RBI double and Teoscar Hernandez's sacrifice fly allowed the Dodgers to run away two runs. With two outs, even Kieke Hernandez hit a timely hit. Treinen allowed a run with two outs in the ninth inning, but was in charge of the game until the end.
The World Series matchup has been confirmed. The Dodgers' opponent is the Yankees.
