2024 World Series Game 4: Yankees Avoid the Sweep With Anthony Volpe Grand Slam!
And the hits just keep on playing. Sinatra’s New York New York hums. Plus, the men in blue and the boys in pinstripes keep on thrilling the masses by showing off their bats. Game 4 was a blockbuster. With Los Angeles trying to close it out, but NY finally comes alive. Let’s recap the 2024 World Series Game 4.
Things started off looking quite dire for the Yankees, again. Freddie Freeman who continues to be on absolute fire this postseason, blasted another ball out of the park in the first inning. Putting the Dodgers up by two, early on. Freeman also made history with this home run. He became the first player in MLB history to hit a homer in six consecutive World Series games including one in the first four games of this Fall Classic.
Nevertheless, the Yankees would not just go quietly into the night. New York showed some passion and fight! Beginning in the second inning, Anthony Volpe walks then steals to second base. Austin Wells doubles, moving Volpe to third. Alex Verdugo grounds out, but this play still allows the Yankees to score. It’s 2-1, Dodgers.
In the third inning, Aaron Judge gets hit by a pitch, Jazz Chisholm singles, and Giancarlo Stanton walks. The bases are loaded. Anthony Volpe then hits a grand slam! The Yankees move ahead 5-2.
LA doesn’t give up. In the fifth they score two runs. Thanks to a Will Smith home run and a Freddie Freeman force out that still allows Tommy Edman to get home. Scoreboard reads 5-4.
In the sixth, New York adds on. Austin Wells hits a fly ball to right field. Yankees have a bit of assurance, it is 6-4. However, a small assurance would become a BIG one. In the seventh, Anthony Volpe hits a double, then is knocked in by Alex Verdugo. But there, are still two Yankees on base. Gleyber Torres homers on a fly ball to right center field. New York is up 10-4.
Yet, the scoring is not over. Juan Soto comes to the plate and hits a double. Aaron Judge is next. He’s calm, he’s ready. Judge singles on a sharp line drive to left field. Soto scores. New York is winning 11-4. And that’s how things would stay. Yankees avoid the sweep and keep their hopes alive.

Now with this Yankee win you may be wondering what so many other sports fans are thinking right now. Has there ever been a baseball team that has come from behind 3-0 to win the World Series? We’ll put you out your pondering misery. No.
No there has never been a single team ever to accomplish such a feat in the Fall Classic. According to Major League Baseball,
“No club has overcome a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series, but a handful of teams have put together valiant comeback efforts — four have won two straight to force a Game 6 after falling behind three games to none, and two of these teams pushed the series to Game 7.”
So then, New York has a chance to make history if they are able to keep the wins coming. But it will not be easy. And as the MLB has highlighted, the odds are against them. It has never been done.
However, this is why we love sports. This is what makes Baseball great. It’s nine unpredictable innings and anything can happen. Therefore, tune in on Wednesday as these two clubs continue to battle for history!
