■MLB World Series Game 4 Yankees 11-4 Dodgers (30th Japan time, Yankee Stadium, New York)

The Dodgers had won three straight games and were on their way to winning the World Series, but they suffered a come-from-behind loss to the Yankees and lost. The match record was 3 wins and 1 loss.

In the first inning, the Dodgers’ No. 3 F. Freeman (35) perfectly caught the slider of Yankees starter L. Hill (26) and hit the right field stand for their fourth postseason lead-off two-run. With this, Freeman set a new World Series record with an arch in six consecutive games since his time with the Braves in 2021. After the game, Freeman said, “I felt good after the first play (home run). Hopefully, this will be over tomorrow. I hope I can continue like this tomorrow.” Regarding the condition of his right ankle, which he injured in a game against the Padres on September 26, he said, “My ankle is in good condition and I feel good.I can see the ball better.”

He put his hopes on winning the WS with three consecutive wins, and took the lead in the fourth game, but was hit by three home runs and lost the game, giving up 11 runs. Regarding this, he said, “I think it’s okay. This team (Dodgers) knows what to do tomorrow. We’ll swing the bat the same way they (Yankees) swung. We’ll do the same thing tomorrow.” I switched.

“I’m not surprised by the Yankees’ comeback. They’re a team that’s in the World Series. They’re one of the best teams in the game. They had a good batting lineup tonight. Flaherty (scheduled to start) tomorrow. I hope we can hold them back and score more points.”

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s game, he said, “They (Yankees) are trying to find a way to compete. We’ll be fine. We know what we can do tomorrow. He’s one of the best pitchers in the game. But we played against him a few days ago. Hopefully, we can hit back and score a lot.”
