**Yankees Keep World Series Hopes Alive with 11-4 Victory Over Dodgers**

The New York Yankees delivered a standout offensive performance on Tuesday night, fending off a World Series sweep by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4. This crucial win at Yankee Stadium narrows the Dodgers' series lead to 3-1, bringing renewed hope to Yankees fans.

The night's momentum shifted dramatically when Anthony Volpe launched a grand slam, propelling the Yankees ahead after Freddie Freeman had initially given the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with a home run in the first inning. "It's my dream, but it was all my friends' dreams, all my cousins' dreams, probably my sister's dream, too. But winning the World Series was first and foremost. by far. Nothing else compares. So still got a lot of work to do," Volpe shared with FOX Sports' Derek Jeter after the game.

In an unusual strategy, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts opted to use only relievers, resting his starting pitchers. However, this decision backfired as the Yankees' batters capitalized, showing no signs of slowing down once they found their rhythm. Roberts remains confident in his bullpen's readiness moving forward. "As far as outcomes, to have six guys in your pen that are feeling good, rested, I feel good about that," he stated.

The Dodgers aim to close out the series in Game 5 on Wednesday night, with Jack Flaherty slated to start. The Yankees will counter with Gerrit Cole, hoping to extend the series and bring it back to Los Angeles for Game 6. Mookie Betts acknowledged the challenge ahead, emphasizing the resilience of any team that makes it this far: "They're going to fight. If you made it this far, you have a resilient team that's going to fight the whole time."

Despite the daunting history—no team has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit in the World Series—the Yankees maintain their optimism. Gerrit Cole encapsulated this sentiment, saying, "We're in a tough position, but there's a lot of baseball left to be played and anything can happen. Hey, we're still in the World Series. Hey, we're in the Bronx. We've still got a shot at this thing." Game 5 begins at 8:08 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX.
