Host Mets Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a critical edge over the New York Mets in the League Championship Series, thanks to the veteran bat of Freddie Freeman.

Freeman, 35, put on a showcase performance at Citi Field today, leading the Dodgers to victory, 7-0, in a pivotal Game 5. Los Angeles is now one game away from the World Series, leading the best-of-7 series by a margin of 3-2. New York will need to win both remaining games to advance.

Juan Soto, the three-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Soto contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Los Angeles up, 3-0.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Los Angeles manager Sam Saunders.

The next game is set to be played for Sunday, October 20th , 2024 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
