Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, propelling the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-3 win over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series. Trailing 3-2 after the Yankees scored in the top of the 10th, the Dodgers rallied when the Yankees intentionally walked Mookie Betts to face Freeman. Freeman connected on the first pitch, making history with the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. The dramatic homer drew comparisons to Kirk Gibson's iconic 1988 walk-off. With the victory, the Dodgers take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Freeman's father watched from the first row behind home plate as his son etched his name into baseball lore.
