NEW YORK (KTTV) – The Los Angeles Dodgers failed to do so in Game 4 of the World Series, losing 11-4 to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

Before the blowout defeat, the Dodgers were hoping to clinch a four-game sweep and capture their first World Series title since 2020.

Fortunately for Dodger fans, the team has three more cracks to capture the championship as they hold a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series against the Bronx Bombers. The Boys in Blue will remain in New York for Game 5. If the Dodgers lose Wednesday’s game, the series will return to Los Angeles for Games 6 and 7 if necessary.

The Dodger win will mean Los Angeles will participate in an in-person World Series parade for the first time since 1988. When the Boys in Blue won it all in the COVID-19 bubble against the Tampa Bay Rays four seasons ago, Dodger fans were robbed of their championship. parade due to pandemic concerns.
