Thanks in part to key contributions by Walker Buehler and Mookie Betts, the Los Angeles Dodgers are once again World Series champions.
The Dodgers pulled off a comeback for the ages Wednesday in Game Five at Yankee Stadium, rallying from deficits of 5-0 and 6-5 to earn a 7-6 victory and capture the eighth World Series in franchise history.
