    LA celebrates victory in Game 2 of the Dodgers World Series

    The Dodgers will head to New York unsure if Shohei Ohtani can play after their biggest star partially dislocated his left shoulder on a slide at second base.

    LOS ANGELES – Two down, two to go.

    The Los Angeles Dodgers relied on strong at-bats and a dominant pitching performance to defeat the New York Yankees on Saturday night to win Game 2 of the World Series 4-2.

    It started early with Tommy Edman hitting a solo shot in the bottom of the second off Carlos Rodón. The Yankees’ Juan Soto hit a solo shot in the next frame, but that would be one of the few hits the Yankees would muster all night.

    The bond was short-lived. Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman, who hit a leadoff grand slam to win Game 1, hit back-to-back home runs to make it 4-1.

    Yamamoto allowed one hit in 6 1/3 innings, Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight night and Los Angeles beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Saturday for a 2-0 Series lead.

    Dodger starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto absolutely dominated the Yankees. After giving up the home run to Soto, Yamamoto retired the final 11 batters he faced. He finished with one hit, two walks and four strikeouts in 6.1 innings.

    The Dodgers got a scare in the bottom of the seventh inning. Shohei Ohtani had to leave the game after apparently locking his shoulder while caught stealing to end the inning. Ohtani’s status for Game 3 was not immediately clear.

    The teams will travel to New York on Sunday before Game 4. First pitch is scheduled for 5:08 PM PT.

    The Dodgers captured the National League pennant after defeating the New York Mets in six games in the championship series. Before that, the Dodgers defeated the West Division rivals San Diego Padres in the NLDS in a winner-take-all Game 5.
    The Boys in Blue earned home field advantage for the postseason, including the World Series, after finishing the 2024 regular season 98-64.

    Freddie Freeman’s grand slam lifts the Dodgers

    Freddie Freeman’s grand slam lifted the Dodgers to a 6-3 victory in Game 1 of the World Series. His father, Fred Freeman, Dave Roberts and the Dodger slugger himself look back on an all-time classic.

    The Yankees became the American League champions after defeating the Cleveland Guardians in five games in the championship series. Prior to the ALCS, the Bronx Bombers defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-1 in the best-of-5 series.
    The Yankees are on the road to start the Fall Classic after finishing second to the Dodgers in overall regular season record at 94-68.
