The New York Yankees came up short in their World Series comeback effort, falling 7-6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5.
“The Bronx Bombers” held a 5-0 lead at one point before multiple defensive mistakes in the fifth inning led to a tie game and then eventually a fully blown lead later in the game.
One of those early runs was scored by star outfielder Juan Soto who the club traded for in 2023 from the San Diego Padres.
Soto, who signed a one-year $31M extension for the 2024 season, is set to become a free agent this offseason so his final at-bat as a Yankee was possibly a groundout in the bottom of the eighth inning.
