Dodger fans not worried after Game 4 loss
The Los Angeles Dodgers couldn't complete a World Series sweep but most of the fans are still feeling good about their chances of seeing a Fall Classic parade.
NEW YORK (KTTV) - The Los Angeles Dodgers couldn't get it done in Game 4 of the World Series, losing Tuesday night's game to the New York Yankees 11-4.
Prior to the blowout loss, the Dodgers were hoping to complete a four-game sweep and capture their first World Series title since 2020.
Thankfully for Dodger fans, the team has three more cracks at capturing the title as they hold a 3-1 best-of-7 series lead over the Bronx Bombers. The Boys in Blue will remain in New York for Game 5. If the Dodgers were to blow Wednesday's game, the series shifts back to Los Angeles for Games 6 and 7, if necessary.
A Dodger win will mean Los Angeles will get their first in-person World Series parade since 1988. When the Boys in Blue won it all in the COVID-19 bubble against the Tampa Bay Rays four seasons ago, Dodger fans were robbed of a championship parade due to pandemic concerns.
