Dodgers Defeat Yankees 4-2 in Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the brink of winning the 2024 World Series, leading the New York Yankees 3-0 after a 4-2 victory in Game 3, bolstered by Freddie Freeman's impressive performance, including a home run in each game of the series. Freeman's home run in Game 3 marked his fifth consecutive World Series game with a homer, tying him with George Springer for the record. Despite battling a sprained ankle, Freeman has emerged as a key player, having hit three home runs in the series, which matches the Yankees' total runs scored over the three games. The Dodgers' pitching has also been strong, with Walker Buehler pitching five scoreless innings in Game 3. The Yankees, struggling offensively, must regroup and find a way to break their slump, particularly with Aaron Judge not contributing hits. The Dodgers now need just one more victory to secure their second championship in five years, while the Yankees face the daunting challenge of winning four straight games to avoid a sweep.
