LOS ANGELES - The weekend isn't over yet, but the Dodgers can still argue for their superiority over the Yankees.

Did the World Series reverberate to some extent back to Game 5?

Instead of a five-game winning streak deficit in his fifth-time win, the Yankees lost four leads in sixth place – the sensational Max Fried failed to retire any of the four Dodgers he faced.

"They won the World Series last year and they know how to win the game," Fried said, after the Dodgers' 8-5 victory on Friday night. “In most cases, I just didn’t do my job.’’

When a mesmerizing in-game battle took place between the MVPs of the Ruling League, as Shohei Ohtani beat two home runs in Fried, while Aaron Judge gave Tony Gonsolin one of four fang base home runs.

After the judges, Austin Wells, Trent Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt entered the third inning, maybe he was going to Gon-Solin - but he lasted six innings to win.

Yankees experience another "playoff atmosphere"

Meanwhile, Fried entered his first loss of the year with a 1.29 ERA, and that night, Mookie Betts (injured toe) was not in the Dodgers' roster.

Another former MVP Freddie Freeman chased French fries with RBI doubles, and the Dodgers' crumbling bullpen was weakened by injuries and survived to win the final nine games.

Now, starter Will Warren by Saturday, and Sunday’s Ryan Yarbrough or Carlos Rodon (a decision remains uncertain) to help with the series win.

This will allow Al East-leading Yankees (35-21) to do some measures on the NL West-leading Dodgers (35-22), but it won't beat Los Angeles' 2024 2024 World Championship Flag in midfield.

"People are asking if (the series) is personal, if it is personal. Every game we play is personal. Every game is important.''

The judge added that the Yankees have been operating in the playoffs-atmosphere game, but not so - the playoff-sized media was made temporary and the ongoing October rematch buzz.

Max Fried's roughest outings are not good

Yes, it was a tough time for the Yankee Universe, seeing Fried perform the hardest in 12 games.

"Just one inning, some good batsman gave him that." Boone talked about the sixth inning trouble when Ohtani started his second home run that night, extending his Major League Baseball lead to 22.

Wonderful Ohtani now has three home runs 5-5 in her normal season career against Fried, who has not scored more than two runs this year until six-sixths on Friday.

Ohtani launches Fried's first delivery on the midfield wall, the judge's first season shot - his 19^Th One year.

Boone said: “It’s right there, there are a few fur dog manufacturers.
