Freddie Freeman blasts walk-off grand slam to give Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3 win over New York Yankees in Game 1 of World Series
Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after hitting a walk-off grand slam during the 10th inning against the New York Yankees during Game 1 of the 2024 World Series at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers won 6-3 on Oct. 25, 2024, in Los Angeles.Freddie Freeman hit the first game-ending grand slam in World Series history with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees in a dramatic opener Friday night.
It was reminiscent of Kirk Gibson’s game-ending homer that lifted Los Angeles over the Oakland Athletics in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series at Dodger Stadium – one of the most famous swings in baseball lore. Freeman, who missed three games during the National League playoffs because of the injury to his right ankle, didn’t have an extra-base hit this post-season until legging out a triple earlier on Friday.
