Dodgers Lead World Series 2-0 Over Yankees

The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the 2024 World Series against the New York Yankees, following a 4-2 victory in Game 2. Freddie Freeman, Tommy Edman, and Teoscar Hernandez powered the Dodgers with home runs, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar pitching performance, allowing just one hit over 6 1/3 innings. Despite star Aaron Judge's struggles, the Yankees attempted a ninth-inning rally, which was thwarted by Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia with the bases loaded. The series now shifts to New York, where the Yankees face a daunting task of overcoming a two-game deficit. Meanwhile, Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani's condition is uncertain after sustaining an arm injury during a steal attempt. This victory builds upon Freeman's historic walk-off grand slam in Game 1, which set the dramatic tone for the series.
