Yankees stars completely implode in disastrous inning that puts season at risk

The fifth inning of Game 5 was a complete Yankees disaster.They entered with a 5-0 lead, left it tied and with their fans in the stands at Yankee Stadium in shock.Enrique Hernandez led off the inning with a liner over second base for the Dodgers’ first hit of the game before the Yankees did their best to cancel their flight back to Los Angeles.Aaron Judge dropped a routine line drive to center off the bat of Tommy Edman when he seemingly took his eye off the ball to give the Dodgers first and second with no outs.Then, Anthony Volpe tried to get a force out at third on a Will Smith grounder, but he one-hopped the throw to Jazz Chisholm, who was unable to handle it.After Gerrit Cole thrilled the home crowd with back-to-back strikeouts of Gavin Lux and Shohei Ohtani, it was the ace’s turn for a fielding gaffe.Mookie Betts hit a slow grounder to first, but Cole strangely stopped halfway to first base, and Betts easily beat Anthony Rizzo to the bag to give the Dodgers their first run of the game.Cole crumbled from there with Freddie Freeman — who else? — driving in two runs with a single to center field.Teoscar Hernandez then followed with a game-tying two-run double to the left-center gap over Judge’s head.The Yankees had built the early lead on the strength of home runs by Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm and Giancarlo Stanton....
