    The Los Angeles Dodgers moved within two wins of a World Series title but lost Shohei Ohtani to an injury during a 4-2 Game 2 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday.

    Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman hit back-to-back home runs and Yoshinobu Yamamoto held the Yankees to one hit through 6.1 innings before Ohtani was injured on a stolen base attempt in the seventh inning.

    The Dodgers got on the board first with a home run from NLCS MVP Tommy Edman in the second inning.

    Never thought Tommy Edman would outscore Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Mookie Betts all playoffs

    The Yankees responded immediately with a Juan Soto home run in the top of the third.

    There isn’t enough money in the world to pay Juan Soto his contract this winter

    The Dodgers responded immediately in the bottom of the frame as Hernández scored Mookie Betts and himself on a two-run homer.

    Freeman followed with a home run of his own to put the home team ahead by three runs.

    The home run marked Freeman’s second in as many games, following his walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning of Game 1 on Friday night.

    Freddie Freeman is the second player to have multiple home runs and a triple in the first two games of a World Series.

    Back to back in LA. Freddie Freeman will never buy a meal in Orange County again.

    clutch Freddie Freeman again tonight

    Mr. Ed John 15:19 kjv @noble_truth76

    Freddie Freeman is the WS MVP right now, it doesn’t matter if he wins or not. Give him the trophy.

    Meanwhile, Yamamoto shut out the Yankees in his World Series debut. Soto’s homer was the only hit-and-run he allowed in his 6.1 innings on the mound.

    The sauce @Corsoline

    Yamamoto with an absolute gem of a game

    Erik Kratz @ErikKratz31

    Yamamoto’s $325 million just paid for itself

    Bruce Kuntz @Bnicklaus7

    What a game for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. what a game
    6 1/3 innings with one hit. More than the Dodgers could have asked for.

    chef nugget @jayhaykid

    Yoshinobu Yamamoto joins Rich Hill (Game 4, 2018) as the only Dodgers pitchers to ever have a 6+ IP start and just one hit allowed in the World Series.

    The Dodgers ran into trouble in the bottom of the seventh inning when Ohtani’s attempt to steal second went down as he appeared to suffer a shoulder injury on the play.

    Joe DeRosa | C1 @Show_DeRosa

    I hope Ohtani isn’t seriously hurt. This series is better with him in it.

    Like the Dodgers the night before, the Yankees loaded the bases before the final at bat of the night. Unlike Freeman, Jose Trevino could not capitalize on the opportunity again.

    wry @fcrisp5

    Freddie Freeman swinging at first pitch with the bases loaded 2 outs is one thing, but Alex Trevino probably needs to throw #WorldSeries

    kyle @knicks_tape99

    I understand the worst. The fact that your roster construction makes your bench hitter Jose Trevino, or the fact that you actually went to him

    Mookie Betts, Hernández and Edman had multiple hits for the Dodgers, while Soto was the only batter to record more than one hit for the visitors. Yankees captain Aaron Judge was held hitless and hit three times as Carlos Rodon took the loss.

    Rob Duncan @Robduncanjr

    Aaron is 1 for 9 in the series. Disappointing. I want more excitement. #WorldSeries

    Dripping @drutimestwo

    Aaron Judge had the greatest hitting season in MLB history and can’t buy a playoff shot
    Baseball is hard

    The Dodgers will take a 2-0 lead into New York but face questions about Ohtani’s availability going forward.

    The World Series continues on Monday as the Yankees return to the Bronx for their first home game of the series. First pitch of Game 3 is scheduled for 8:08 p.m
