Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 5 starting lineups
Here are the starting lineups for Game 5 of the World Series between the Dodgers and New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday at 5:08 p.m. PDT:
Yankees fan admits he ‘probably crossed the line’ grabbing Mookie Betts’ glove: ‘Desperation kicked in’
NEW YORK — The Yankees fan who interfered with a catch being made by Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts during Tuesday’s World Series game told The Times that he was just “too passionate” and “probably crossed the line.”
Austin Capobianco, a 38-year-old fan from Connecticut, was banned from attending Game 5 in the Bronx Wednesday for grabbing Betts’ mitt and appearing to twist the player’s wrist after Betts reached into the stands to catch a foul ball hit by Gleyber Torres. Capobianco said he was trying to steal the ball from Betts to help his favorite team.
Kid thought he was going to dentist. Dad took him to World Series and he caught Freddie Freeman’s grand slam
Long encumbered by a mouthful of metal, Zachary Ruderman was told by his parents Friday that he could leave his fifth-grade class early because he had an orthodontist appointment to get his braces removed. The shaggy-haired 10-year-old figured he’d be out of the chair in time to watch Game 1 of the World Series on TV.
After all, Zachary had worn Dodgers gear to school, drawing from a wardrobe that includes several shirts bearing the name of his favorite player, Freddie Freeman.
So when his father picked him up and — surprise! — showed him tickets in the right-field pavilion and headed directly for Chavez Ravine, Zachary was beyond thrilled. They met his mom in Echo Park for pregame tacos at Guisados and soon were in their seats.

Dodgers can’t complete sweep as Yankees get off the mat in Game 4 to keep season alive
NEW YORK — The Dodgers’ lack of pitching hasn’t hurt them often this postseason. But in the third inning Tuesday night, manager Dave Roberts stood in the dugout without many appealing options.
