This upcoming World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers is rife with storylines. It’s the 12th time these two franchises will face each other for the championship. They first met each other in the 1941 World Series, and the last time they played one another in October was 1981.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven shutout innings before passing the baton to the Dodgers bullpen. The Yankees were held to just four hits through nine innings. Aaron Boone used five pitchers to hold the Dodgers to even fewer hits and no runs through nine frames as well.
