Freddie Freeman is having an incredible World Series, hitting a home run in his fifth consecutive game to help the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. The win puts the Dodgers just one game away from clinching their first World Series title since 2020. Freeman’s impressive streak dates back to his time with the Atlanta Braves during their 2021 championship run. In Game 3, Freeman wasted no time, hitting a two-run homer in the first inning to give the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead.
Dodgers’ starter Walker Buehler delivered a strong performance, pitching five innings of two-hit ball with five strikeouts. The Dodgers’ offense continued to produce, adding another run in the third inning and one more in the fifth. Despite a late two-run homer by the Yankees’ Alex Verdugo, the Dodgers maintained control of the game.
The Yankees struggled to generate offense throughout the game, with Aaron Judge particularly struggling at the plate. The Dodgers’ pitching staff, including Brusdar Graterol, Alex Vesia, Daniel Hudson, Anthony Banda, and Ryan Braiser, kept the Yankees in check until the late homer by Verdugo.
With the win in Game 3, the Dodgers are now in a commanding position, needing just one more victory to secure the championship. The Yankees face an uphill battle, needing to win four straight games to claim the title. The pressure will be on as the series continues in the Bronx.
The Dodgers will look to complete the sweep in Game 4, while the Yankees will fight to stay alive in the series.
