World war game 3

On the decision to send Giancarlo Stanton on Anthony Volpe’s single in the fourth inning, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said they wanted to be aggressive in challenging the arm of Teoscar Hernández, especially when Hernández was moving to his right https://gambling-sites-us.com/review/truefortune-casino/.

When Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam to save the Dodgers, who were trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, he was a hero to all Dodgers fans, including 10-year-old Zachary.

How did the Dodgers push the Yankees to the brink of elimination, and is there hope left for the home team in Game 4? We’ve got it all covered, from updates and analysis during the games to takeaways after the final pitch to what’s next for each team.

Game 1 world series

Atlanta ably absorbed Morton’s unexpectedly early departure in the third inning, thanks to A.J. Minter’s emergency effectiveness in the longest outing (by pitches, 43) of his big league career. But even in losing the opener, perhaps the Astros will find an opening if the innings grow more difficult for the Braves, who needed Minter, Luke Jackson, Tyler Matzek and Will Smith to cover 6 2/3 innings in Game 1.

The last victory for a World Series team in its home ballpark remains the Dodgers’ 18-inning walk-off over the Red Sox in Game 3 in 2018. The Astros had the Game 7 hosting duties in a 2019 World Series vs. the Nationals that famously was the first in which the home teams went 0-fer. And, of course, the pandemic forced the 2020 World Series between the Dodgers and Rays to be played at Globe Life Field in Arlington.

Verlander couldn’t hold the lead, in part because he couldn’t hold the ball. With Rhys Hoskins on first and one out in the fourth, Realmuto hit a liner into Verlander’s outstretched glove, but the ball popped right out to prevent what would have been an easy inning-ending double play with Hoskins far off the first-base bag.

Game 2 world series

The bases were loaded and Dave Roberts had just called left-hander Alex Vesia in from the bullpen to face left-handed batter Austin Wells. Aaron Boone countered with right-handed pinch-hitter Jose Trevino, New York’s backup catcher. Although Trevino represented a somewhat better matchup than Wells (.526 OPS vs. LHP), Trevino was not exactly a force off the bench. His OPS against left-handed pitching this season was .626, and Vesia handles right-handed batters nearly as well as lefties.

The Dodgers nipped the Yankees 4-2 in Game 2 on Saturday night, and they now lead the best-of-seven World Series by a count of 2-0. L.A. starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto worked 6 ⅓ innings. For the Dodgers, Tommy Edman, Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernández each homered. The Yankees scored a run and then loaded the bases in the ninth against Blake Treinen, but Alex Vesia was able to come on for the one-out save.

Yankees starter Carlos Rodón’s homer problem reared its ugly head again at the worst time. In the second inning, Tommy Edman homered. (Juan Soto answered.) In the third, Rodón struck out Ohtani before running into two-out trouble: Mookie Betts singled, Teoscár Hernández and Freddie Freeman homered back-to-back, and Edman doubled. Rodón was yanked after 3 1/3 innings, having allowed six hits — half of them homers — and four runs.
