NEW YORK — The Yankees had such a commanding lead heading into the top of the fifth inning on Wednesday night that reporters in the Yankee Stadium press box were finalizing travel plans back to Los Angeles for Game 6. No need for a refundable fare. As routine as it gets.
Gerrit Cole didn’t cover first. Anthony Rizzo didn’t charge it quickly enough. Mookie Betts beats it out, extends the inning and the Dodgers go in to tie this game.
