A bittersweet World Series homecoming for the Yankees – in pictures

While fans may have had a glimmer of hope before the game started, that was quickly dashed when Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt gave up a walk to Shohei Ohtani and then a two-run home run to Freddie Freeman, and that was it . at the top of the first. The mood dropped even further when Judge’s first at-bat went nowhere.
