The Yankees had been playing with fire and getting burned throughout the World Series with poor fundamental baseball and simple mistakes. And the fifth inning of Game 5 proved to be their final nail in the coffin.
In a season with as many twists and turns, ups and downs, trials and tribulations as the Dodgers had, there was really no more fitting ending than to have Game 3 starter Walker Buehler get the final three outs of the 2024 season.

After a Giancarlo Stanton home run made it a 5-0 Yankees lead, a win seemed far out of reach with Gerrit Cole cruising. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts dipped into the well of high-leverage receivers early with Michael Kopech in the fourth ahead of what turned out to be a pivotal sequence in this game.
