Game 2 world series
The Rays are back in the World Series after last appearing in the Fall Classic in 2008, and they had to earn it: For the month of October, David turned into Goliath, knocking off the Yankees and Astros en route to another World Series berth Lima Major as a premier Dota 2 tournament. After a Wild Card Series sweep over the Blue Jays, the Rays were locked in a five-game ALDS with the Yankees and pulled out a Game 7 win over the Astros in the ALCS.
The Yankees will appreciate the change of scenery, as they return home down 2-0 to the Dodgers in the series. Game 3 will feature Clarke Schmidt and Walker Buehler starting on the mound, but the teams will get a chance to catch their breath first.
“Takes just one,” said Aaron Judge, an enormous man facing enormous scrutiny for his 1-for-12 showing with seven strikeouts in this Series. “All it takes is one swing, one at-bat, one play. Everything changes for us. That’s just the mindset you’ve got to have going into this.”
The 2021 World Series is over, and the Atlanta Braves are champions, defeating the Houston Astros in six games. The Braves, who came into the postseason as a bit of a dark horse, found their groove against the best baseball had to offer. They’re celebrating their fourth championship as a franchise and their first since 1995.
Game 4 world series 2024
In the event of a potential Game 5, the Dodgers already know their pitching plan. Game 1 starter Jack Flaherty will return to the bump, hoping to replicate the 5 ⅓ strong innings he pitched in the Series opener.
But in looking for some kind of inspiration at the end of their season, Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo harkened back to the beginning of this season, which they opened with a four-game road sweep of the Houston Astros.
Jazz Chisholm followed with a single off the wall in right field, putting runners on the corners. Hudson nearly hit Giancarlo Stanton with a pitch before walking him to load the bases with one out, prompting a mound visit from pitching coach Mark Prior. Anthony Rizzo popped out to Tommy Edman at short.

Game 3 world series
• The Dodgers and Yankees had a World Series preview June 7-9 at Yankee Stadium, with Los Angeles winning two of the three games. Teoscar Hernández had a go-ahead, two-run double in the 11th inning of the first game, a 2-1 Dodgers win, then hit two homers in an 11-3 rout the next night. The Yanks salvaged the finale with a 6-4 win, powered by Trent Grisham’s three-run homer off Tyler Glasnow.
This was another ineffective evening for the Yankees’ captain Aaron Judge, another night when they struggled to get help from the bottom half of their lineup (when they had two aboard and two out with Anthony Banda on the mound for L.A. in the seventh, Gleyber Torres was called out looking for strike three), another night when their starter didn’t have it. Though Verdugo’s two-out, two-run homer in the ninth put a late jolt into the building, it was too late to spark a real rally.

But he found an effective curveball against the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series and finally got his lively fastball back on Monday night. The Dodgers are now one win away from their first championship in four years and their first full-season title since 1988. At the most critical juncture, starting pitching has gone from the Dodgers’ biggest uncertainty to one of their greatest strengths. And their biggest concern, the overall health of first baseman and No. 3 hitter Freddie Freeman, doesn’t seem to be one at all anymore. — Alden Gonzalez
