Yankees Lose Game 2, Trail World Series 2-0

In Game 2 of the World Series, Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón struggled significantly, allowing three home runs and four earned runs in just 3.1 innings, leading to a 4-2 loss against the Dodgers. Rodón's performance was critical as the Yankees sought to recover from a heartbreaking loss in Game 1. Despite a strong start, he faltered, giving up a solo shot to Tommy Edman and back-to-back homers to Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman. The Yankees now face a daunting 0-2 series deficit as they head back to New York. Concerns about the Yankees' starting pitching depth have emerged, with increased reliance on the bullpen a possibility going forward. With Game 3 approaching, the Yankees must reassess their strategy to rebound in the series.
