Game 4 Recap: Yankees Strike Back
Before they became must-win situations, the Yankees won a powerful way with Anthony Volpe, who hit a huge, pivotal grand slam and helped flip the momentum after he began swinging early in the year.
The Yankees rallied for a five-run eighth, that crucial hit coming with the expectation tag, which this series has known for so long, on their back, breaking off a 3-0 series deficit. It was the Yankees’ pitching staff that rallied, with their bullpen shutting down the Dodgers impeccably after starter Luis Gil fell apart early in the game.
