The Los Angeles Dodgers are headed to New York up 2-0.
Los Angeles hosted the New York Yankees for Game 2 of the World Series Saturday following Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam to close Game 1 on Friday, coming away with a 4-2 win after a nervy ending.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Carlos Rodon both made their World Series debuts, but the former easily outshined his opponent with a commanding performance across 6.1 innings, allowing just one hit (home run via Juan Soto) and recording four strikeouts.
Shohei Ohtani appeared to suffer a left shoulder injury at the end of the seventh inning when he tried to steal second base but landed awkwardly while sliding. The severity is not yet known.
The Yankees struggled at the plate for eight of nine innings, finally coming alive in the top of the ninth with Soto leading the way. However, despite having the bases loaded, they couldn't force the Dodgers to respond.
