The Los Angeles Dodgers are headed to New York up 2-0.
After Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam highlighted Game 1, defense took the spotlight in Game 2 as Yoshinobu Yamamoto shined in his World Series debut, leading the Dodgers to a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees.
Yamamoto had a commanding performance across 6.1 innings, allowing just one hit (home run via Juan Soto) and recording four strikeouts. However, Shohei Ohtani suffered a partially dislocated left shoulder after he landed awkwardly on an attempt to steal second base in the last play of the bottom of the seventh inning.
Ohtani's Game 3 status is not yet known.
New York will need better performances from its batters, as Soto led the way but didn't get enough help. Giancarlo Stanton notably went 1-for-4 at the plate while Aaron Judge's postseason woes continued, going 0-for-4.
So, with a decisive match up next, here's what to know for Game 3 of the Fall Classic:
