With two outs and two runners on base, the New York Yankees chose to intentionally walk Mookie Betts in the bottom of the 10th inning and instead pitch to Freddie Freeman. The Yankees got Shohei Ohtani out to secure their second out of the inning, and bring them within one out of a 3-2 win in Game 1 of the World Series.
The Yankees did not want to risk Betts winning the game, so they walked him. With the bases loaded, Freeman came up to the plate and made the Yankees pay for their decision by hitting the now iconic grand slam to win Game 1.
