The Los Angeles Dodgers won their eighth World Series title after defeating the New York Yankees in a 7-6 Game 5 victory on Wednesday night.

The Yankees blew a five-run lead at home and could only watch on as Los Angeles celebrated its eighth title victory in front of a sellout Yankee Stadium crowd.

“I think falling short in the World Series will stick with me until I die, probably,” Yankees slugger Aaron Judge told reporters after the game. “I think just like every other loss, you know, those things don’t go away. They’re battle scars along the way. And, you know, hopefully when my career is over, we got a lot a battle scars but a lot of victories along the way too.”
