Yankees’ Gleyber Torres came up big in Game 4 of the World Series against the Dodgers, hitting a three-run homer in the eighth inning to help secure an 11-4 win for New York. The game was a must-win for the Yankees, who were facing elimination. Torres’ heroics came after a shaky start that included a defensive mishap that allowed the Dodgers to score a run earlier in the game. Despite his struggles, Torres proved to be a difference-maker with his crucial home run in the eighth inning.
Manager Aaron Boone had considered using Luke Weaver to finish the game, but Torres’ blast provided the Yankees with a comfortable lead, allowing Tim Mayza to close out the game. Torres, who had faced criticism earlier in the season for poor performance both offensively and defensively, showed his ability to come through in clutch situations.
Torres’ redemption in Game 4 highlighted the potential the young infielder had to impact the outcome of the World Series. His ability to rebound from setbacks and deliver when it mattered most was key in keeping the Yankees’ season alive. With one swing of the bat, Torres changed the course of the game and gave New York a chance to fight another day in the World Series.
