The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed their eighth World Series title in franchise history Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium and, like their 98-win season and their 11 wins in 16 postseason games, it came in a fashion both wholly predictable and thoroughly stunning. In a five-run hole in Game 5 and facing New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, the Dodgers staged a startling fifth-inning rally to tie the score, pushed across two more runs to take the lead for good in the eighth and then closed their eyes and hoped for the best from a bullpen stretched to its limit.  The result? A 7-6 Game 5 victory, a 4-1 conquest of the Yankees and the club’s first World Series title since 2020 and first in a full season since 1988.  More on the Dodgers’ World Series title at the link in usatodaysports bio.  #WorldSeries #Dodgers #MLB #LADvsNYY
