NY Yankees vs LA Dodgers live score, updates, lineups for World Series Game 5

NEW YORK – Over the long, Bronx winter, they’ll remember the inning that went off the rails.

A crazy, five-run fifth inning allowed the Dodgers to tie World Series Game 5, but the Yankees rallied back to take a one-run lead – only to watch Los Angeles come back yet again.

A two-run eighth inning by the Dodgers provided their first lead of Wednesday night, and they held on for a 7-6 victory to claim the 120th World Series.

Cruising into the fifth inning of a must-win game, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole yielded five runs – all of them unearned – due to two errors and one critical mistake of his own, failing to cover first base.

And now the Yankees move into an uncertain offseason, with Juan Soto entering free agency.

At third base, Jazz makes a sharp play to his left to end the Dodger ninth, and here we are - Yankees down to their last three outs, trailing Game 5 by a run.

And it'll be Walker Buehler, the Dodgers' Game 3 starter, charged with getting the last three outs and delivering a championship to Los Angeles.

Leiter Jr. inherits first and second, one out, Tommy Edman coming up in the ninth. Weaver balked pinch-runner Chris Taylor to second and walked Enrique Hernandez.

The Yanks are desperate to keep this a one-run deficit entering the last of the ninth. Is that Walker Buehler warming for the Dodgers?

They'll have Volpe, Wells and Verdugo - so responsible for last night's Game 4 victory - to lead off the inning, looking to keep the Yankees' season alive.

First, Weaver must navigate 4-5-6 in the Dodger order, with L.A. up 7-6...and Teoscar Hernandez opens with a single.

Giancarlo Stanton now to face Treinan, after a mound conference, with the tying run at second, go-ahead run at first. Stanton already has a homer tonight...

...and he goes after the first pitch, a sky-high fly out to right. Here is Rizzo, with two out - and a gutsy performance by Treinan, getting him swinging over a sharp slider.

We go to the ninth. Dodgers are three outs away from a world championship.

Judge has lashed a one-out double off a full-count pitch by Treinan here in the eighth. Jazz up now. Treinan might be wearing down, now at 36 pitches...and he walks Chisholm Jr.

The Yanks have six outs left, but they'll open the eighth with Soto and Judge vs. Treinan. Soto has been on base all four times tonight, with three walks and a single.

And Judge has already hit a two-run homer with Soto aboard tonight. It's 7-6 Dodgers, having just taken their first lead of this game.

Mookie Betts' sac fly with the bases loaded puts the Dodgers ahead 7-6. Freeman is up, and you can hear the Dodgers fans now as the Yankee crowd has gone quiet.

Runners are at the corners in the eighth, and Freeman is the World Series MVP to date...and Weaver strikes him out to end a damaging inning.

It's the third error on the Yanks tonight. Bases loaded, Weaver vs. Betts, one out....

A sac fly by Lux that moves Edman to third with one out and here is Ohtani, 0-for-4 tonight, 2-for-19 in the Series, and compromised by a sore left shoulder...

...and he reaches on catcher's interference? Yanks are challenging the call. It would be bases loaded if it stands with Mookie coming up, Freeman on deck.

Kahnle exits with the bases loaded and none out, and the Yanks are asking Luke Weaver to save their season - needing him to at least limit the damage here, with a one-run Yankee lead.

It's Gavin Lux up now. Ohtani on deck. It's a little quiet here.

The Dodgers have opened the eighth with two singles off Kahnle and Weaver is warming up.

Yanks are sensing bunt with Will Smith up and Rizzo is playing so close to Smith he could shake hands with him. But Kahnle is now behind 3-0...and now ball four.

Six outs away from forcing a Game 6, and the Yankees have Kahnle in to protect a one-run lead, vs. 6-7-8 in the Dodger order.

That sets up for Luke Weaver in the ninth to get the Yankees back to Dodger Stadium, having to face Ohtani, Mookie and possibly Freeman.

I mean, we're in the seventh, and if this game goes extra innings, you really wonder how the Dodgers pitching holds up.

Blake Treinan is the Dodgers' sixth reliever tonight, and you'd figure Casparius, Knack and Honeywell are unavailable after pitching in last night's bullpen game.

Daniel Hudson threw 20 pitches last night and 22 the night before. A quick seventh inning helps Treinan here, and we go to the eighth, 6-5, Yanks.

Clay Holmes walks Teoscar, goes to 3-2 on Max Muncy with first and second, and gets him looking.

We go to the last of the seventh, Yanks up 6-5, with the Yanks' 8-9-1 to face Treinen.

Where you wondered in Game 1 why Cole came out so soon (88 pitches), you'd have thought this would be Tim Hill's lane vs. the two big Dodger lefty hitters. But Cole prevailed here in the seventh...

...and now he's done after a walk to Freeman.

Big ovation as Cole comes off the mound for showing a lot of toughness after that fifth inning that went off the rails. Here comes Clay Holmes vs. Teoscar.

And Gerrit Cole is still out there in the seventh, approaching 100 pitches, to face the top of the Dodger order with the Yanks up 6-5...

...and he quickly gets Ohtani on a grounder and Mookie on a comebacker. Here's Freeman. He is homer-less tonight.

Runners at the corners, one out in the sixth and Giancarlo delivers a long sac fly – it’s 6-5, Yanks.

And that drive was deep enough to allow Jazz to tag up and take second base with Rizzo up now...and he walks. Graterol is done.

Here's Volpe vs. Blake Treinen (the sixth Dodger reliever) with a chance to build on the lead and bury that fifth-inning Yankee nightmare in the field...and he grounds out on a 3-2 pitch.

The Captain is batting with Soto (walk, on base four times tonight) on first base in a tie game, sixth inning.

Judge's confidence has certainly returned at the plate, with a single, homer, walk and a deep fly out in his last four times up, including last night's eighth inning...

...and he draws a walk vs. Brusdar Graterol. Yanks have something cooking here to start the sixth.

He'll face the bottom of the Dodger order, with Boone trying to get him through this inning before going to Tim Hill vs. Ohtani, Mookie and Freeman...

...and he gets it done. A good rebound for Cole, but so much damage was done in the fifth. That could be his last inning of the season.

But if the Yanks ever make it to a Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, he might be asked to pitch an inning in a desperate all-hands-on-deck situation.

Vesia allows two aboard with two out in the fifth, hitting Wells on the left hand with a pitch and now walks Verdugo – wiping out the lefty-lefty advantage.

Here’s Gleyber...who flies out to deep right. Vesia puts up a zero the hard way. On to the sixth, tied.

Cole appears to be one batter away from exiting as he faces Enrique Hernandez with runners at first and second...

...and he gets a grounder to Volpe to end one of the most insane momentum-turning innings in recent pinstriped postseason memory.

The game is tied, the Dodgers haven't won anything yet, but, wow, did the Yankees just hand them five free runs or what?

Lefty Alex Vesia now pitching in the fifth for L.A. to face Stanton, Rizzo and Volpe.

How else can you describe this never-ending fifth inning of horrors for the Yanks?

Teoscar Hernandez has tied the game with a two-run double. This crowd is stunned. The Yankees on the field are stunned.

Three errors (counting Cole's miscue) and it's 5-5, and Cole's pitch count has soared to the point where Tommy Kahnle is warming up quickly.

Bases loaded, none out in the fifth after two errors. This is Cole's biggest challenge of the game...

...and he responds right away, striking out Lux on a 99-mph fastball and Ohtani swinging over a big curveball for strike three.

And now Cole makes a mental error, failing to cover first base on a Mookie Betts grounder to Rizzo at first. One run in.

Brings up the dangerous Freeman. Isn't he due for a homer? Feels like it - he's had four in the first four games.

But he settles for a soft, two-run single to center. What an absolute disaster of an inning; Cole should've been out of it, and his brain cramp is as much to blame as the Judge and Volpe errors.

Tommy Edman's soft liner was just dropped by Aaron Judge in center, and now it's first and second to start the fifth for L.A. ...

...and it's another error, loading the bases with Dodgers as Volpe bounces a throw to Jazz at third, missing an easy force play on Enrique Hernandez.

This is suddenly a big Dodger chance, with Lux batting and Ohtani on deck.

The ace is at a comfortable 48 pitches entering the fifth, with a 5-0 lead and the Dodgers are still hitless as 6-7-8 bat here...

...and now Enrique Hernandez leads off with a line single to right. This is a better version of Cole than Game 1, when he lasted 88 pitches and yielded some hard contact despite giving up just one run in six innings.

Two on again for Judge in the fourth, facing Michael Kopech. And the "M-V-P'' chants are back...

...and the captain just gets under one, skying out to deep left, but causing the crowd to roar again.

The "M-V-P'' chants started again for Aaron Judge, who makes a sensational running catch in center field, slamming off the wall at the 399-foot sign to rob - who else? - Freddie Freeman of a potential RBI double in the fourth.

Giancarlo plants one in the right field seats off Ryan Brasier, leading off the third. It's the seventh homer by Stanton this postseason, increasing the Yanks lead to 5-0.

Stanton has been regularly the first Yankee to come out for early BP this postseason, hitting off the high velocity pitch machine. That routine continued this afternoon.

The Yankees ace was a strike away from starting 9-for-9, but lost Lux on a full-count walk. That brought up Ohtani, with an off-balance swing on an 0-2 changeup resulting in a fly out to left.

Ohtani is now 1 for his last 13 (single) and still looks a bit compromised by that left shoulder issue. Yanks up 4-0.

And a chance to really break this one open early, vs. the lefty Banda. Allowing Judge to find some rhythm might be the worst consequence of the Dodgers' bullpen Game 4...

...and Judge walks to load the bases for Jazz, who grounds out to end the second inning. It's 4-0, Yanks.

Dodgers starter Jack Flaherty did not have it tonight, and Dave Roberts is already into his bullpen with one out in the second inning, trailing 4-0.

Flaherty lasted nine batters, retired only four, and it's lefty Anthony Banda on now. Roberts had saved his best relievers for work today, following the Game 4 bullpen game.

With a travel day tomorrow, Roberts can still use his leverage guys and have them ready for Game 6. Right now, they're just trying to stop the bleeding before it gets out of hand.

Big cheers again for Anthony Volpe, who leads off the Yankee second with a double and moves to third on Austin Wells' right-side groundout. Infield in now for L.A., trying to prevent the Yanks from going up 4-0 with Verdugo up.

We've been here before (last night's eighth inning), when second baseman Gavin Lux's wide throw failed to catch Volpe at the plate...

...and now Verdugo lines one over Lux's leaping attempt. Base hit, 4-0, and Jack Flaherty is done.

And now Jazz Chisholm Jr. launches one over the right field wall - a no doubt homer, complete with an exaggerated bat flip - for a 3-0 lead off Flaherty. First inning, and there's warmup action in the L.A. bullpen.

Yankees could not have scripted a better start to Game 5, and this crowd is still standing as Giancarlo Stanton bats. It's the fifth time in Yankees history they've recorded back-to-back homers in a World Series game.

You thought Aaron Judge might have relaxed a bit in Game 4, and maybe got some of his timing back at the plate...

...and now he has just launched Jack Flaherty's first delivery over the right field wall for a two-run homer. It's Judge's first World Series home run, coming after a Juan Soto walk.

It's a 1-2-3 inning for Gerrit Cole, with Ohtani going after the first pitch and flying out to center. And this crowd is pretty electric already, pretty much since Cole stepped out of the dugout to warm up.

They’re not breaking up a winning combination.

After an 11-4 win on Tuesday night, the Yankees are rolling out the same lineup for tonight's World Series Game 5 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium.

Manager Aaron Boone returned Giancarlo Stanton to the No. 5 spot for Game 4, elevating lefty-hitting Jazz Chisholm Jr. to cleanup for a better left-right balance throughout.

Boone wanted that dynamic in place for Tuesday night’s bullpen game by the Dodgers, and he’s sticking with it against Dodgers’ right-handed starter Jack Flaherty in Game 5.

FANS GET BANNED:Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts are not allowed back

In the World Series opener at Dodger Stadium, started by Flaherty, Boone had Stanton at No. 4 and Chisholm Jr. at No. 5.

Stanton’s two-run homer off Flaherty ended the right-hander’s night in the sixth inning, the only runs scored off him in the Dodgers’ eventual 6-3, 10-inning win.

In Game 4, the Yankees' biggest success came from the bottom of the order, with a grand slam by Anthony Volpe, a solo homer by Austin Wells, and a double by Volpe that started a five-run inning − including a three-run homer by Gleyber Torres and an RBI single by Aaron Judge, his first RBI of this World Series.
