Shohei Otani (30) starts as “No. 1/DH”.
In the game held at his hometown Dodger Stadium, he celebrated his first game in the best possible fashion with a walk-off home run with the bases loaded and a 6-3 lead after overtime.
The Dodgers’ starting pitcher was Flairty (29) and the Yankees’ starting pitcher was Cole (34), and the game was a pitching battle between the two aces.
In the top of the first inning, Flirty suppressed the Yankees’ attack with zero, and in the bottom of the inning, Freeman (35) hit a triple to create a chance for the Dodgers, but Cole persisted and got them out of trouble.
After that, both aces pitched well and neither team scored until the fourth inning.
Otani, who was in his first WS, struck out on a fly to center field in front of a call that he was not good at, and Judge was also unable to catch Flirty’s knuckle curve and struck out for the second consecutive at-bat.

But the Yankees are waking up here. In the 6th inning, right after the leadoff, Soto, the leadoff batter, got on base with a hit to left field.
Judge struck out, but then Stanton (34) scooped up a low knuckle curve thrown by Flairty at a count of 1-2, and the ball went high and landed in the Dodgers’ bullpen.
He hit a gigantic moon shot reaching a maximum height of 140 feet (approximately 42.7 meters), successfully turning the ball around and pulling Flirty, who had pitched well thus far, off the mound.
After that, the Dodgers batting line wanted to make a comeback, but they had a hard time overcoming the calls made by the opposing starter.
In the 7th inning, he created a chance to get to first base with no outs, and finally forced Cole to leave the pitcher.After that, he persevered and opened up opportunities for second and third base with two outs, but he was retired before Holmes (31) and Kenley (35) took over pitches.
As the game went into overtime, Chisholm (26) of the Yankees got on base with a hit in front of right field, stole two bases, and got one out, first and third base, and then scored one point between Volpe (23)’s grounder in the infield to advance the game. Ta.
However, the Dodgers showed their tenacity until the end, creating opportunities for first and second base with one out, and Otani came to bat.
Cortez (29), known as the Otani killer, took the mound, but Otani fell to a fly ball to left field from Cortez, but both advanced to base. He was on second and third base with two outs.
Then, Betts was ejected and Freeman (35), who came to bat with two outs and bases loaded, hit a walk-off home run off Cortez.
The Dodgers won the World Series. He got off to a good start as he became number one in the world for the first time in four years.
