When is world series game 2
“I feel like it really just takes one big swing, and I feel like that was Volpe’s big swing there,” Wells said. “It allowed everyone to take a deep breath and have fun. Types of news sites I think also the situation we were in, I think that we just needed to say, ‘Screw it,’ and go after it and have fun, because some guys may never come back to the World Series again.”
• Wells homered in the sixth inning, becoming the fifth rookie with a World Series home run as catcher, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He joined Buster Posey in 2010 Game 4, Rod Barajas in 2001 Game 5, Bill DeLancey in 1934 Game 5 and Wally Schang in 1913 Game 3, which was the first homer by any catcher in Fall Classic history.
StubHub reports sales outpaced last year’s final figures and were four times higher than the pace of the 2022 Series. Sales for Games 3 through 5 in New York were 40% higher than for Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 in Los Angeles.
• Volpe became the first Yankee with a grand slam and multiple stolen bases in a game, regular season or postseason, since Mickey Mantle on Aug. 19, 1962. He’s the second in postseason history to do so, joining Shane Victorino in Game 2 of the 2008 NLDS.
Yankees dodgers world series game 3
1950: Yankees over PhilliesJoe DiMaggio socked a go-ahead solo homer to lead off the top of the 10th inning of Game 2, giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead as they returned to New York. The Yanks held serve at home to sweep Philadelphia and win the Fall Classic.
The Dodgers used homers from a trio of Hall of Famers — Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider and Pee Wee Reese — to roll to a Game 1 victory. The teams then alternated victories over the next five games to set up a Game 7 showdown at Ebbets Field.
Sparked by – stop us if you’ve heard this one – a Freddie Freeman home run and steered by an exceptional outing from Walker Buehler, the Dodgers’ 4-2 triumph over the Yankees in Game 3 on Monday night put them on the verge of a World Series sweep.
“I think this team is just different than the teams we’ve had before,” said Buehler, “in terms of the way we operate in there with the 26 guys that are active that day. There’s this bond that’s kind of different. We play for each other.”
Billy Martin put together a remarkable series, going 12-for-24 (.500) with two homers, two triples, eight RBIs and a 1.478 OPS in the six-game series. He capped off his incredible showing with a World Series-clinching walk-off single in a 4-3 victory in Game 6. Mickey Mantle added two homers and seven RBIs, while Yogi Berra went 9-for-21 (.429) with a home run and four RBIs for the Yanks.
World series game 1
Dodger Stadium is back rocking after Shohei Otahni’s hit off the center field wall. With the superstar at third base and Mookie Betts at the plate with one run, optimism high as the Yankees bring in their closer, Luke Weaver.
History pulsates in the postseason, all the more when iconic clubs clash. And Valenzuela’s death earlier this week only added to the emotional heft of what is taking place here. Prior to the first pitch, the Dodgers had two of their World Series MVPs — Steve Yeager (1981) and Orel Hershiser (1988) — honor Valenzuela’s memory by placing a ball on the mound, below where his No. 34 had been painted.
The 2017 numbers pale in comparison to 2016, though, when the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland were competing to break World Series droughts of 108 years and 68 years, respectively. That game drew 19.4 million viewers.
Game 1 featured starting pitchers Jack Flaherty for the Dodgers and Gerrit Cole for the Yankees. Country singer Brad Paisley performed “The Star-Spangled Banner”. In tribute to Fernando Valenzuela, his former Dodger teammates Orel Hershiser and Steve Yeager placed a ball on the blue No. 34 painted on the pitcher’s mound instead of throwing out a ceremonial first pitch.

When is the next world series game
“No one’s done what we’re trying to accomplish ,” said catcher Austin Wells, “so I think if you put too much pressure on it at this point, you’re going to fail yourself, and you’re not going to enjoy the journey. I think seeing what happens and having fun is where we’re at.”
The Yankees are the 41st team to fall behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven. The 2004 Red Sox (against the Yanks) are the only ones to come out on top. To reach this point in a World Series and even force a Game 5 is difficult. It hasn’t happened since 1970, when the Reds lost the first three, won Game 4 and then lost Game 5.
A Yankees team has not been swept in the World Series since 1976, against the Big Red Machine. But this World Series could be over in a New York minute if the Yankees don’t come to life Tuesday night.
Re-sale tickets for Game 3 at Yankee Stadium ranged from around $1,500 for seats in the right field bleachers to over $18,000 to sit next to the Yankees’ dugout. Yankee Stadium also had a standing-room-only Pinstripe Pass for more than $1,000 that got you inside and one drink, but no seat.
The Atlanta Braves (+750) and Philadelphia Phillies (10-1) round out the top four teams in the odds, with a trio of teams just behind them at 12-1 each — the Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros and New York Mets.
