Tommy Kahnle flops as Bombers’ season ends

Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 7-6 Game 5 season-ending loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday night in The Bronx.  

Hero

Mookie Betts beat out a single that helped the fifth inning unravel for the Yankees, then drove in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth.

Zero

Tommy Kahnle entered in the top of the eighth trying to protect a one-run lead and instead allowed all three batters he faced to reach base.

Unsung hero

Walker Buehler, who started Game 3 of the series, came on to pitch the ninth and pick up the save.

Key stat

0 Teams in MLB history have forced a Game 6 in the World Series after trailing 3-0.
