NEW YORK–The New York Yankees’ first trip to the World Series in 15 years ended in bitter disappointment on Wednesday after the Los Angeles Dodgers gave them a five-run head start in Game Five before rallying to win 7-6.
The Yankees opened the series with three straight defeats but gave their fans a sliver of hope with an inspired 11-4 Game Four triumph that had Dodgers manager Dave Rogers chewing through his bullpen.
Fans at Yankee Stadium were radiated joy early on in Game Five as the hosts took a five-run lead into the fifth as a once-unlikely Game Six suddenly looked within reach.
