Volpe slam sparks Yankees slugfest

New York avoids a World Series sweep with an emphatic 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers

NEW YORK — Anthony Volpe grew up rooting for the New York Yankees and attended their last World Series parade in 2009.

Nearly 15 years later, the biggest swing of Volpe's young career prevented a Los Angeles Dodgers championship celebration.

Volpe hit a go-ahead grand slam in the third inning, helping the Yankees avoid a World Series sweep by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Game 4 on Tuesday.
