The Los Angeles Dodgers can attempt something that hasn’t been seen in the World Series since 2012: 4-0. Even in game 3, at Yankee Stadium, filled for the occasion with almost fifty thousand people, success comes from the Los Angeles franchise, which dominates and only by virtue of an aggressive last inning of the New York Yankees prevails 4-2. Already tonight, essentially, every account could be closed.
That things are not destined to go too well for the Yankees can be understood from the moments following the playing of the national anthem by Leslie Odom Jr.; Freeman immediately swings the bat for a two-run home run that immediately directs the challenge. For him, including those in 2021, the fifth consecutive World Series match in which he hits a home run.
Baseball: the Dodgers win game 2 of the World Series but lose Otani. Yankees KO again
In the third inning Edman plays the lion’s share, advancing the base on balls and, progressively, taking the point of 3-0 on Betts’ single. The Dodgers party continues in the sixth inning, because Lux is hit, then steals second base and Hernandez’s single made it 4-0.
The Yankees’ reaction is really late, even if for a moment it gives hope to the city that never sleeps. Verdugo takes care of finding the home run to make it 4-2 which turns New York back on, but the situation is already two out. Nonetheless, the next batter, Torres, was quickly eliminated and the game was over. For the Dodgers starter, Walker Buehler, perfect day: five innings without real concessions. And tonight the eighth triumph could arrive within 2020.
