The Los Angeles Dodgers are back on top of the baseball world. Down 5-0, Los Angeles battled back to tie the game with a five-run fifth inning.

The New York Yankees then went back ahead in the bottom of the sixth before the Dodgers answered back to take a decisive 7-6 lead in the top of the eighth.

The five-run deficit to win is the largest to clinch a World Series all-time. Walker Buehler closed it out in the ninth inning to defeat the Yankees and give the Dodgers their second World Series in the last five seasons.

It marks Los Angeles' eighth World Series title in franchise history, tying the San Francisco Giants for the fifth-most all-time.
