In the third inning, Mookie Betts hit an RBI single with Tommy Edman on base to put the Dodgers up 3-0.
As the World Series shifted to Yankee Stadium on Monday night for Game 3, the Yankees are hoping to change the narrative on the 2024 Fall Classic after losing the first two games.
Yankees fans will be looking to captain Aaron Judge to help turn things around for the Bronx Bombers. The superstar slugger has now gone 1 for 10 with seven strikeouts in his first three World Series games at Dodger Stadium, dragging down New York's offense.
Ohtani is in the Los Angeles lineup and expected to play in Game 3 after suffering a shoulder injury in Game 2. Ohtani had his left arm in a sling during player introductions before the game. He didn't appear impacted while in the batter's box but was clearly holding his left arm gingerly while on first base.
Clarke Schmidt (5-5, 2.85 ERA) got the start for the Yankees and Walker Buehler (1-6, 5.38 ERA) took the mound for the Dodgers.
