The Los Angeles Dodgers have shined in the World Series, delighting their fans with their skillful performances. They are now in prime position to win the World Series, just one game away.
Freddie Freeman continued his impressive performances by hitting his third consecutive home run, while Walker Buehler pitched another excellent game.
In Monday’s game, the Dodgers clinched a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees. They now lead 3-0 in the series. Buehler and six reliever pitchers joined forces to secure the victory. The Dodgers are now on the brink of their second championship in five years and the eighth in their history.
The Dodgers, with star player Shohei Ohtani competing with a partially dislocated left shoulder, are close to a sweep that few expected in this clash of titans.
Freeman’s two-run homer in the first inning set the game’s course. Mookie Betts and Kiké Hernández also contributed with RBI singles. Also, left fielder Teoscar Hernández made an important play, taking out a runner at the plate.
Meanwhile, the Yankees escaped a shutout due to Alex Verdugo’s two-run home run in the ninth inning. Freeman also managed to match George Springer’s record, achieving a home run in five consecutive World Series games. Moreover, he became the third player to hit a home run in the first three games of the World Series, following Hank Bauer (1958) and Barry Bonds (2002).
