The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious in the 2024 World Series, clinching the championship title in Game 5 by defeating the New York Yankees with a thrilling 7-6 comeback win. Trailing 0-5 initially, the Dodgers mounted an impressive rally, ultimately taking the series 4-1. This marks their eighth World Series title in franchise history and their first since 2020.

Freddie Freeman, whose consistent home run streak set a World Series record, was named the series MVP. He hit home runs in every game from Games 1 to 4 and added two RBIs in Game 5, culminating in a .300 batting average, four home runs, and 12 RBIs for the series. Notable moments included a 10th-inning grand slam by Freeman in Game 1 and pivotal hits by Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in Game 5 that contributed to the Dodgers' comeback.

The Yankees aimed to make history by staging a comeback after losing the first three games but struggled with key defensive errors, including mistakes by Aaron Judge and pitcher Gerrit Cole. The Dodgers’ bullpen and strong finishing by pitcher Walker Buehler sealed their victory.

This win solidifies the Dodgers’ continued playoff success, marking their 12th consecutive postseason appearance and adding to their rivalry with the Yankees. The Yankees, who were vying for their 28th World Series title, will look to next season for another chance.
