NEW YORK (AP) - Jack Flaherty was chased early for the second straight time when trying to clinch a postseason series for his hometown team, giving up four runs and getting just four outs as the New York Yankees burst to a quick lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in World Series Game 5 on Wednesday night.
With the Dodgers leading the Series 3-1, the 29-year-old right-hander walked Juan Soto with one out in the first. Aaron Judge lined a first-pitch fastball into the right-field seats for a two-run, opposite-field homer. Flaherty turned briefly, had a look of anguish, and looked away knowing the ball was gone.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed four pitches later by pulling a fastball into the right-field stands. Flaherty watched that one land.
Anthony Volpe doubled leading off the second and scored, and Anthony Banda relieved Flaherty after just nine batters.
