In the World Series starring contest of bullpen games, the New York Yankees blinked first. Former Cy Young award winner Gerrit Cole survived a shaky first inning in which Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts both barely stayed in the yard on flyouts to the warning track and Freddie Freeman tripled to give the Yankees six solid innings. The only run Cole allowed came in the fifth inning when Center Fielder Enrique Hernandez tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Catcher Will Smith.
