On Tuesday, in a neutral stadium 1,400 miles away from L.A., at the conclusion of a bizarre season played amid a global health crisis, these Los Angeles Dodgers finally made their mark.
Their 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 of the World Series won them their first championship since Gibson famously hobbled to the batter's box in 1988, a fit- ting coronation for a dominant franchise.
After Rays manager Kevin Cash turned to Nick Ander- son with one on, one out and the top of the order due up for a third time in the sixth, the Dodgers' offense finally came alive. Mookie Betts doubled, Austin Barnes scored on a wild pitch, and Betts slid home safely on a grounder to
the right side. Betts, the off- season superstar acquisition , tacked on an important insur- ance run with a solo homer in the eighth, and Julio Urias cruised past the finish line, leading the Dodgers to the title 16 days after the Los Angeles Lakers completed their cham- pionship journey. Tony Gon- solin, counted on to function as a traditional starter, recorded only five outs. But four relievers -- Dylan Floro, Alex Wood, Pedro Baez and Victor Gonzalez -- re- tired 13 of the next 14 batters, keeping the game within reach long enough for the Dodgers to get past an electric Blake Snell and tap into the Rays' bullpen.
The very good Tampa Bay Rays team will be back next year.
U. S. Coronavirus Infections Hit Record Levels, With
Hospitalizations And Deaths On The Rise
The coronavirus pandemic continued setting records in the United States on Tuesday, as a relentless raft of new in- fections pushed the country’s seven-day average of reported cases to its highest level ever.
For the first time, the na- tion’s rolling average — consid- ered more reliable than fluctuating daily cases counts — topped 70,000, according to Washington Post data.
This latest surge has spared no corner of the country: 29 states have reported record numbers of infections in the past week.
More than 43,000 people are hospitalized, a figure ap- proaching the worst of the midsummer peak. The average number of deaths reported each day has also been ticking slowly upward for a month and now stands at 815 people.
