On Tuesday night, the New York Yankees claimed an 11-4 win in Game 4 over the Los Angeles Dodgers to keep their season alive. 23-year-old shortstop Anthony Volpe played a huge part in this victory.

The New York native launched an iconic grand slam in the third inning against Daniel Hudson. This huge bomb from him kick-started their comeback, as they turned it around to make it a 5-2 game.

This grand slam from Volpe saw the Yankees take a lead in this series for the first time since they led 3-2 in Game 1 of the series before the Freddie Freeman walk-off slam. While the Dodgers made things interesting by making it a 5-4 game, the Yankees had some other ideas.

A solo home run from catcher Austin Wells extended their lead in the sixth inning. In the eighth inning, the Yankee offense jumped on the Dodgers and scored five runs with the help of a three-run home run by Gleyber Torres.

This victory also saw the Yankees avoid a World Series sweep. In their long history, the Yanks have suffered two World Series sweeps and were on pace for a third one if they failed to get a positive result in Game 4.

The Yankees are now the first team since the Cincinnati Reds to force a Game 5 in the World Series after being 3-0 down. The Reds did this in 1970 against the Baltimore Orioles. The O’s though came back strong in Game 5 and won the series 4-1, something the Dodgers would be hoping to replicate on Wednesday night.
