Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series Game 4: Live updates, score ...

Luis Gil stepped in earlier this season when Gerrit Cole started the season on the IL and pitched as well as anyone in the American League. He finished the season with a 15-7 record with a 3.50 ERA and a WHIP of 1.193. Most concerningly though for the Yankees is that he led the AL with 77 walks, which may be problematic for a patient Dodgers lineup.
Former Yankees outfielder Paul O'Neill, who was a member of four championship teams during their 1990s dynasty, will return to the Bronx tonight to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. He follows ex-teammate Derek Jeter who took the mound last night.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will play for the sweep at Yankee Stadium up 3-0 in the best-of-seven World Series. Game 4 of the World Series will be played on Tuesday at 8:08 p.m. ET on Fox.
In a pressure-packed World Series game in hostile territory in the Bronx, most pitchers would wilt like a flower that’s been cutoff from water. But Walker Buehler isn’t most pitchers.
When it comes to big games in the playoffs, Buehler turns into a maestro of October, and his dominance on the mound is his Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. Buehler delivered yet another gem of a performance on Saturday to give the Dodgers a commanding 3-0 lead in the World Series and put his team on the edge of their eighth championship in franchise history.
For most of the night, the sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium sat awestruck at how easily Buehler mowed down the best offense in baseball. Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts was one of them.
“Walker was fantastic,” said Roberts. “His stuff was as good as it’s been all year. This is as confident as I’ve ever seen him.”

Told he had tied a World Series record by homering in five straight games, Freddie Freeman grinned.
“Let’s hopefully make it six,” he said.
Freeman put Los Angeles ahead 15 pitches into the game with a two-run homer off Clarke Schmidt, and the Dodgers beat the Yankees 4-2 last night to take a 3-0 World Series lead.
He matched the mark set when George Springer homered in Games 4 through 7 in 2017 as the Houston Astros beat the Dodgers for the title, then hit another in the 2019 opener against Washington.
Freeman homered in Atlanta’s last two games against Houston in the 2021 World Series, and he has connected in all three games of this one. He became the third player to homer in the first three games of a World Series after Hank Bauer in 1958 and Barry Bonds in 2002.
