The New York Yankees have awakened.
A little late.
The Yankees mauled and mashed and manhandled the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, staving off a sweep with an 11-4 victory.
Not much to see here.
On a night when two Yankees fans literally tore a foul ball out of Mookie Betts’ glove, the Yankees were desperate.
On a night when Dodgers manager Dave Roberts used Ben Casparius to start and Landon Knack to cover four innings and Brent Honeywell to finish, the Dodgers were cautious.
“At the end of the day, we’re still in a pretty good spot, and we feel good,” Roberts said.
On a night when Anthony Volpe set the tone by running into a hanging slider by Daniel Hudson in the third inning and depositing it into the left-field bleachers for a grand slam, the Yankees were inspired.
