The Los Angeles Dodgers are one victory away from clinching the World Series after a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The Yankees' struggles continued, highlighted by poor pitching performances, particularly from Clarke Schmidt who was pulled before the end of the third inning. Despite a late two-run homer from Alex Verdugo, the Yankees failed to mount a successful comeback, with star player Aaron Judge remaining hitless. The Yankees now face a do-or-die situation in Game 4, needing to win to avoid an embarrassing sweep, as no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a World Series. Former players and analysts suggest the Yankees channel the spirit of the 2004 Red Sox, who famously overcame a similar deficit. Fans and commentators alike express skepticism about the Yankees' ability to turn the tide against a formidable Dodgers team that has showcased depth and pitching prowess throughout the series.
