    Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman becomes the first MLB player to homer in six consecutive World Series games

    Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman became the first player in MLB history to hit a home run in six consecutive World Series games when he threw one out of Yankee Stadium in Game 4 on Tuesday.

    The hit, which gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the first inning, was Freeman’s fourth of the 2024 World Series. His previous two World Series home runs in the streak came in Games 5 and 6 of the 2021 Fall Classic while at the Atlanta Braves.

    In Game 1 between New York and Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium, Freeman called the game with a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning – the first in World Series history. With two outs in the bottom of the inning, Freeman, who had been slowed all month by an ankle injury, lifted the Dodgers to a 6-3 victory.

    Game 2 turned out to be a home run fest, with all the early runs scored in the same manner. The Yankees’ Juan Soto hit one off Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers’ Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernández and Freeman each got one off Carlos Rodón.

    Freeman then blasted a home run to give the Dodgers another 2-0 lead to start Game 3 in New York. After taking a commanding 3-0 series lead on Monday, Freeman was credited with tying George Springer’s World Series record by homering in five consecutive games. “Let’s hopefully make it six,” Freeman said.

    A day later he did just that.

    No player has ever hit a home run in every game of a World Series, and only Springer has done so in four consecutive games in the same series.
