Los Angeles Dodgers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the World Series against the New York Yankees with a 4-2 win on Monday night. Freddie Freeman homered for the third consecutive game and Walker Buehler delivered a strong performance on the mound, backed by a solid bullpen effort.
Despite a partially dislocated shoulder, Shohei Ohtani played for the Yankees, who are now on the brink of being swept in the Fall Classic. This marks the first World Series meeting between these traditional powerhouses in over a decade.
The Dodgers, aiming for their second championship in five years, showcased strong defense and timely hitting throughout the game. Freeman’s two-run homer early in the contest set the tone, extending his streak of homering in World Series games to five.
The Yankees struggled offensively, managing only four runs and nine hits in the past two games. The Dodgers will aim to close out the series in Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, with both teams making key lineup adjustments.
Buehler, a standout performer for the Dodgers, highlighted his postseason prowess with another stellar outing. While the series heads to Game 4, the Yankees face a daunting task to fend off a potential sweep and avoid their first World Series sweep since 1976.
Both teams remain determined as the stage is set for a crucial Game 4, with the Dodgers looking to secure their eighth championship in franchise history and the Yankees seeking to stage a comeback to keep their title hopes alive.
