World series 2024 game 5
All that Game 2 noise went away when Shohei Ohtani injured his left shoulder on a failed seventh-inning stolen-base attempt and lay on the ground in obvious agony. The Dodger Stadium crowd quieted quickly, then got mighty tense when the Yankees nearly came back in the ninth. The Problem of Weaponized Incompetence But while the injury to their iconic designated hitter hung heavy in the air, the Dodgers were able to feed off the Freddie Freeman frenzy from a night earlier with a 4-2 win Saturday night to take a commanding 2-0 edge in this best-of-seven Fall Classic.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts just took the ball from him in the top of the seventh inning after a masterful performance. The Japanese right-hander threw 6.1 innings, allowing just one hit, two walks and striking out four.
Yankees: Juan Soto homered and had two hits in Game 2. Of his four homers this postseason, three have given the Yankees the lead, and one has tied the game. Stanton has six homers and 14 RBIs this postseason. Rizzo has produced a .520 on-base percentage. Judge continues to slump, now 6-for-40 (.150) with 19 strikeouts during this postseason. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (.186 BA) and Austin Wells (.098 BA) also have struggled.
• Freddie Freeman entered having homered in each game of the series and wasted no time adding Game 3 to the list, going yard in the first. He became just the third player to homer in Games 1, 2 and 3 of a World Series, joining 2002 Barry Bonds (Giants) and 1958 Hank Bauer (Yankees). Nobody has done so in the first four. The only player to homer in four straight games within a single World Series is George Springer, in 2017 Games 4-7.
• In the third inning, Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman hit the second set of back-to-back home runs in Dodgers World Series history. They joined Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager in Game 5 in 1981.

After a stunning walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the tenth inning Friday night by Freddie Freeman to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the World Series, the New York Yankees are looking to even the score Saturday night before returning to the Bronx.

When the game 3 of the world series
“We have just got to stay focused, stay urgent,” Roberts said postgame of his team’s World Series chances. “Offensively, to be quite honest, we left a lot of runs out there tonight and still found a way win a ball game. There’s got to be urgency. I don’t want to let these guys up for air.”
When is the game and how can I watch it?Game 3 of the World Series will be played at Yankee Stadium in New York on Monday at 8:08 p.m. ET/5:08 p.m. PT. All World Series games will start at the same time and be televised on FOX.
This was another ineffective evening for the Yankees’ captain Aaron Judge, another night when they struggled to get help from the bottom half of their lineup (when they had two aboard and two out with Anthony Banda on the mound for L.A. in the seventh, Gleyber Torres was called out looking for strike three), another night when their starter didn’t have it. Though Verdugo’s two-out, two-run homer in the ninth put a late jolt into the building, it was too late to spark a real rally.
