Anthony Volpe grand slam helps Yankees beat Dodgers, avoid World Series sweep

Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Anthony Volpe resurrected the previously lifeless New York Yankees, delivering euphoria to fans with a go-ahead grand slam and helping to deny the Los Angeles Dodgers of a World Series sweep Tuesday in New York.

The Yankees shortstop hit the 390-foot blast in the bottom of the third inning of the 11-4 victory at Yankee Stadium. The Game 4 win helped the Yankees to avoid becoming the first team swept in a World Series since 2012.
