The Los Angeles Dodgers star extended his historic World Series scoring streak to six games last night, hitting a two-run shot off New York Yankees starter Luis Gil in the first inning of Match 4. The eight-time All-Star, who homered in the final two games of the Atlanta Braves’ 2021 World Series victory over the Houston Astros, is the first player to score in six consecutive games at the Fall Classic. Freeman is now one shot away from the record for most home runs by a player in a single World Series. There have been three players to hit five home runs in a single World Series, with Reggie Jackson being the first to do so in the Yankees’ 1977 World Series victory over the Dodgers.

Chase Utley hit Jackson for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Yankees in the 2009 World Series before George Springer recorded five home runs in the Astros’ victory over the Dodgers in the 2017 World Series. Freeman’s four home runs against New York tied the mark for fourth with several other players, including Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth.
