(Reuters) – The Los Angeles Dodgers won Major League Baseball’s World Series for the first time since 1988, with a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Arlington, Texas on Tuesday, to seal the best-of-seven championship 4-2.
The Dodgers’ triumph at their third World Series appearance in four years closed out a shortened season that saw the final three playoff rounds held at four neutral-site locations in a bid to limit spread of COVID-19.
