For the second straight night, the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>\u00a0have a chance Wednesday to close out the 2024 World Series. But, also for the second straight night, the\u00a0New York Yankees<\/a>‘ offense have an answer.<\/p>\n

Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty didn’t last long on the bump in Game 5, as he allowed four earned runs on four hits and one walk over 1 1\/3 innings. He was relieved of his duties in the second inning, walking off the mound with Los Angeles facing a 4\u20130 deficit.<\/p>\n

\n
Most of the damage arrived in the first inning, as Flaherty\u00a0served up back-to-back homers<\/a>\u00a0to Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. According to Opta STATS, Flaherty is the first starting pitcher in World Series history to allow at least four runs and two homers while lasting less than two innings.<\/div>\n

Jack Flaherty is the first starter in World Series history to give up 4+ runs and 2+ HR while lasting less than 2.0 innings.<\/p>\n
