The Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series, but it remains to be seen if Shohei Ohtani will play in Game 3 in New York.
In Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night, Dodger Stadium only fell quiet twice. The first lull was rectified quickly, with the Dodgers turning a tied score in the third inning into a comfortable lead with back-to-back home runs from Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman. The second silence, however, lasted much longer — serving as the only ominous moment at Chavez Ravine in two otherwise rollicking Fall Classic nights.
And they have watched their offense continue a scorching October surge, one that culminated with consecutive blasts from Hernández and Freeman in the third — the Dodgers' first back-to-back home runs in the World Series since Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager hit pivotal blasts in Game 5 of their 1981 championship. “It was big,” Roberts said of the third-inning sequence, which followed a solo blast from Juan Soto in the top half of the inning, turning a 1-1 tie into a 4-1 lead.
