Secret world game
The Sporting News tracked live scoring updates and highlights from World Series Game 2 between the Yankees and Dodgers. Below is a window into the sights, sounds and moments that defined Saturday’s 4-2 Dodgers win.< https://wedoweb.org/ /p>
Not at first! Yamamoto spent 20 pitches in the first inning. He was at 35 pitches through two innings, and 52 through three. For a guy who hadn’t exceeded 79 pitches in an outing since June, it seemed a short start was in the offing. But once the Dodgers jumped ahead Yamamoto started to really cook. He set down the Yankees in order in the fourth, fifth and sixth. Dave Roberts even sent him out for the seventh, and Yamamoto got Giancarlo Stanton to pop out with his 86th and final pitch of the night. A shockingly economical result, considering how it started, and a brilliant one-hit, one-run outing.

World series game score 3
If they want to win this series, the Yankees need Aaron Judge to regain his dominance. The superstar is 6-for-40 (.150) with two homers and 19 strikeouts this postseason. In this World Series, he has struck out three times in both games. Thankfully, New York is not short on talent, with Soto, Stanton, Chisholm, Gleyber Torres and others stepping up to the plate.
“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.”
The last time the Yankees were down 2-0 in the World Series was 1996. Just like this year, that team had broken a 15-year World Series drought but had fallen in the first two contests. The 2024 version is hoping history repeats itself starting tonight.
8:24 p.m. HOME RUN — Freddie Freeman can’t be stopped right now. He lifts his third home run of the 2024 World Series into right field, giving the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead on the road. It’s also Freeman’s fifth straight World Series game with a homer.
When Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam to save the Dodgers, who were trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, he was a hero to all Dodgers fans, including 10-year-old Zachary.
Jazz Chisholm Jr., batting behind Stanton, lined a ball to right field that looked as if it would fall in to give the Yankees runners on the corners with one out, but six-time Gold Glover Mookie Betts made a sliding catch, robbing Chisholm and sending Stanton back to second base.
When is game 4 world series
Freeman homered in Atlanta’s last two games against Houston in the 2021 World Series, and he has connected in all three games of this one. He became the third player to homer in the first three games of a World Series after Hank Bauer in 1958 and Barry Bonds in 2002.
The veteran closer threw a season-high 42 pitches — he’d only once thrown more than 26 in the regular season — and gave the Dodgers 2 1/3 scoreless innings on a night when their pitching staff was stretched beyond its limits by starter Jack Flaherty’s brief outing that ended after just four outs.
New York outfielder Alex Verdugo drove home a run via fielder’s choice in the bottom of the second to cut the deficit in half. Then Volpe hit his bases-clearing blast an inning later to give them the lead.
Of the 41 teams to fall behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven postseason series, the Yankees are only the 10th to even avoid a sweep. Of the previous nine to do so, four managed to force a Game 6 and two forced a Game 7, although neither example occurred in the World Series. One was the 2020 Astros, who lost Game 7 to the Rays in the ALCS, and one was the 2004 Red Sox, who famously came back to the beat the Yankees in the ALCS. The Yankees are the first team to force a Game 5 when down 3-0 in a World Series since the Reds in 1970 against the Orioles.
Who is hot and who is not?Dodgers: Freeman continues his dominant World Series run, hitting a homer in all four games against the Yankees. The star first baseman has now hit a homer in six consecutive games in the Fall Classic, a new record. He also has 10 RBIs in the four games. If the Dodgers wrap it up, Freeman will likely be taking home his first World Series MVP trophy.
