Dewey Defeats Truman! Fox LA Affiliate Announces Dodgers Win, Moments After They Lose

Moments after the Houston Astros outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling 13-12 World Series game, Fox 11 in Los Angeles flashed a screenshot of Dodger fans celebrating with the header: “Dodgers Win!”

This image (that’s me smiling with the Astros throwback) appeared for just a few seconds after the game:

The assumption of a win was understandable. The Dodgers played 175 games before Sunday night without ever losing a game in which they led by four runs, so their 4-0 lead with the games best pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, on the mound seemed a near lock to set up a screen. Instead, the Astros became only the second team in 113 World Series to rally from down three or more runs twice in the same game as the only team to ever have five different players hit homers in a World Series game. However, the Dodgers also rallied from three down later in the game.

The back-and-forth series has proven neither team can assume any game is won until the final out, as the Dodgers need only to go back to Los Angeles and win two home games to be champions. While the Astros need to either win Game 6 with Justin Verlander on the mound or, win Game 7.
