The Los Angeles Dodgers took care of business at home in the first two games of the 2024 World Series, and now the New York Yankees will try to stay in the series and avoid a 3-0 hole in Game 3. The middle three games of the series — if the Yankees extend the series to five or more — are at Yankee Stadium, where New York had the worst home record (44-37) of any of the six division winners in Major League Baseball this season.

Shohei Ohtani, who suffered a separated shoulder while stealing second base in the seventh inning of Game 2, is in the lineup for Game 3. Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is the 2024 postseason leader in home runs, with six in 11 games. For the Dodgers, it has been a Freddie Freeman show in the World Series thus far, as he has gone 3-for-9 with two home runs — including that epic, game-winning grand slam in Game 1 — to go along with five RBI.

Walker Buehler (0-1, 6.00 ERA, 9.0 IP, 6 K, 3 BB in 2024 postseason) is on the mound for the Dodgers against Clarke Schmidt (0-0, 3.86 ERA, 9.1 IP, 6 K, 3 BB) for the Yankees in Game 3.

  • Walker Buehler continues to deal

    After allowing the first Yankees hits in the fourth, Walker Buehler pitched a 1-2-3 fifth inning to keep New York off the scoreboard. Through five innings, Buehler’s allowed two hits and walked two with five strikeouts to keep the Yankees off the board.

    The Dodgers lead, 3-0 heading into the sixth.

  • Cortes pitches scoreless 5th

    Freddie Freeman reached on an error to lead off the top of the fifth inning, but Nestor Cortes induced a lineout and a double play to end the inning with no damage. The Dodgers maintain a 3-0 lead in the middle of the fifth.

  • Teoscar Hernandez throws out Giancarlo Stanton at home to end 4th

    The Yankees came up short on their best chance yet to get on the scoreboard, thanks to a great defensive play from Teoscar Hernandez. Giancarlo Stanton reached on a one-out double for the first Yankees hit of the night, then looked to leg out a run on a two-out single by Anthony Volpe into shallow left field.

    But Hernandez mowed down a very slow Stanton with a perfect throw to the plate to end the inning.

  • Cortes gets redemption

    Big-time redemption for Nestor Cortes Jr. after his unfortunate two-pitch outing in Game 1 ended with Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam.

    The lefty entered and struck out Shohei Ohtani and got Mookie Betts to fly out to strand two Dodgers baserunners and perhaps capture some momentum for the Yankees heading to the bottom of the fourth.

  • Dodgers come up empty in 4th

    The Dodgers had runners on first and third with no outs in the fourth but didn’t score. The failed squeeze on the borderline call at home secured the first out. Yankees reliever Nestor Cortes then took over on the mound and struck out Shohei Ohtani and induced a lineout from Mookie Betts to end the inning.

  • Lux looked safe

    Here’s the replay look. Lux looks safe:

  • Dodgers’ squeeze play fails on borderline call at home

    The Dodgers gambled with a no-out squeeze in the fourth inning and lost. Gavin Lux ran home from third on a Tommy Edman bunt. The home plate umpire called him out at home as he slid headfirst. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts challenged the play.

    Replay appeared to showed that Lux touched home plate just before Yankees catcher Jose Trevino placed the tag. But replay officials didn’t agree — or didn’t see enough to overturn the call on the field. Lux is out, and the Dodgers have runners on first and second with one out.

  • Yankees hitless after 3

    Gleyber Torres walked with two outs in the third. But Juan Soto grounded out to first to end the inning, and Walker Buehler has yet to allow a hit. Buehler added two strikeouts to raise his tally through three innings to five.

    The Dodgers hold a 3-0 lead after three innings.

  • Yankees’ bullpen under pressure now

    Clarke Schmidt exited with the bases loaded after recording only eight outs.

    The Yankees’ bullpen was quietly excellent in a losing effort after Carlos Rodón in Game 2, but now they’ll have to cover more than six innings effectively if the Yankees want to stick around in this game.

  • Mark Leiter Jr. gets out of bases-loaded jam

    Mark Leiter Jr. inherited a bases-loaded jam with two outs and got out of it. The Yankees reliever pitched Will Smith to a 3-1 count, but ultimately induced an inning-ending groundout on a full count to limit the Dodgers damage to one run in the third inning.

    The Dodgers hold a 3-0 lead in the middle of the third. The Yankees will look for their first baserunner in the bottom of the inning.

  • Clarke Schmidt is done with bases loaded

    Clarke Schmidt’s night is done. After allowing an RBI single to Mookie Betts, the Yankees starter walked Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy to load the bases.

    The Yankees go to reliever Mark Leiter Jr. with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the third inning while facing a 3-0 deficit.

  • Mookie Betts blooper extends Dodgers’ lead

    Mookie Betts dropped a ball into shallow right field that Juan Soto couldn’t catch up to, and Tommy Edman scored from second base to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0 with one out in the third inning.

  • Shohei Ohtani swings

    After walking on four pitches in his first at-bat, Shohei Ohtani took his first swing since injuring his left shoulder in Game 2. He swung and missed at a 2-0 knuckle curve inside, then grounded out to advance Tommy Edman to second base with no outs in the third inning.

    After the swings, he grasped his jersey collar with his left hand as he has done throughout the night but otherwise looked no worse for wear.

  • Yankees hitless after 2 innings

    Walker Buehler is in control through two innings. The Dodgers starter strikes out Anthony Volpe and Anthony Rizzo in a 1-2-3 second following a hitless first. The Dodgers take a 2-0 lead into the third.

  • Clarke Schmidt pitches 1-2-3 second

    After giving up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning, Clarke Schmidt pitched a clean top of the second with strikeouts of Gavin Lux and Kiké Hernández. Dodgers lead 2-0 in the middle of the second.

  • Aaron Judge strikes out again

    Make that seven strikeouts in 10 at-bats for Aaron Judge in the World Series. After a cold start in Los Angeles in Games 1 and 2, Judge just struck out swinging with one out and a man on first in the bottom of the first inning.

    Walker Buehler got him with a cutter on a full count, then induced an inning-ending ground ball from Giancarlo Stanton. Dodgers lead 2-0 after one inning.

  • MVP Freddie?

    If there was any doubt that the Dodgers’ slugging ways would sustain through the off-day and cross-country travel, Freddie Freeman put that to rest in a hurry with a 2-run HR in the top of the 1st to give L.A. the early lead.

    Freeman now has a homer in each of the first three World Series games (and in five World Series games in a row dating to Games 5 and 6 of the 2021 World Series) and is the runaway favorite for World Series MVP should the Dodgers go on to claim the title.

  • Walker Buehler’s on the mound for the Dodgers, staked with a 2-0 lead.

  • Clarke Schmidt strikes out Max Muncy on three pitches to end the inning, but damage was already done. The Dodgers strike first for a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.

  • Freddie Freeman does it again

    If the Dodgers win this, Freddie Freeman’s looking looking like a lock for MVP. He just hit his third home run in three World Series games to score Shohei Ohtani from first and give the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead.

    He launched a 1-0 cutter into the right-field bleachers to suck the air out of Yankee Stadium.

  • Ohtani’s holding his jersey collar with his left hand as he takes a lead off first base. Don’t expect to see any steal attempts tonight or likely for the rest of the series.

  • Shohei walks on 4 pitches

    We’ll have to wait to see how Shohei Ohtani’s swing looks with his injured shoulder. He walks on four pitches to lead off the game.

  • Clarke Schmidt is on the mound, and Shohei Ohtani’s taking swings in the on-deck circle. It’s almost time for Game 3.

  • Still waiting on that first pitch.

  • Here’s Fat Joe:

  • We’re moments away from first pitch. Fat Joe is hyping the crowd before Clarke Schmidt takes the mound for the top of the first. We’re well past the scheduled 8:08 p.m. ET start time.

  • Jeter delivers a strike, because of course he does.

  • Derek Jeter’s throwing out the first pitch. That should get the Bronx appropriately hyped for Game 3.

  • Shohei Ohtani took the field holding his left arm gingerly during pregame introductions. He wore something over his uniform and under his jacket over his injured left shoulder as he ran onto the field.

    Some folks are speculating that it’s a sling, but this isn’t how you wear a sling:

  • Can Aaron Judge snap cold streak?

    All eyes are on Aaron Judge tonight. The presumptive AL MVP is batting .150 in the postseason and is 0-for 10 in the playoffs with runners in scoring position. He combined for six strikeouts in Games 1 and 2 of the World Series in Los Angeles as the Yankees dug an 0-2 hole.

    The Yankees’ hopes of turning the series around at home rest significantly on his bat.

  • Shohei Ohtani is playing

    For the Dodgers, a massive sigh of relief with their Game 3 lineup card. Shohei Ohtani will not miss a game after dislocating his left shoulder while sliding during an attempted steal in Game 2. He’ll take his normal place at the top of the Dodgers order.

  • Yankees make change at catcher

    Here’s the Yankees’ lineup for Game 3, with the most notable move coming at catcher. Jose Trevino will start behind the plate and bat seventh in the lineup in place of regular starter Austin Wells. Wells went a combined 1-for-8 in Games 1 and 2 and is batting .098 in the postseason.
