Who won the world series game last night
“I feel great, I feel great,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s about the guys that you have available. They’re all rested. So we have guys that can do up/down. the lima major So where we’re at , knowing there’s an off-day , we’re in a great spot with leverage relievers.”
• Buehler became the eighth pitcher with a win as a starter and a save in the same postseason series since saves were official in 1969. He joined Ranger Suárez in the 2022 NLCS, Clayton Kershaw in the 2016 NLDS, Madison Bumgarner in the 2014 World Series, Kevin Millwood in the 1999 NLDS, Orel Hershiser in the 1988 NLCS, Catfish Hunter in the 1974 World Series and Jack Billingham in the 1972 World Series.
• The Dodgers had to come back twice, trailing 5-0 and 6-5. They became the first team in postseason history to fall behind by at least five runs, erase that deficit, fall behind again and still win the game, per STATS. That’s in any postseason game, and the Dodgers did it in a World Series clincher.

Jack Flaherty pitched 5 1/3 innings for the Dodgers, striking out six and allowing two runs. Gerrit Cole pitched into the sixth inning but was removed before recording an out. He finished with four strikeouts, allowing only one run.

While he struggled in both his NLDS start against the Padres and his most recent NLCS start against the Mets — where he gave up eight earned runs and walked four in just three innings — he also delivered a scoreless performance in Game 1 of the NLCS, tossing seven innings and allowing only two hits.

Game 3 world series 2024
For the 25th consecutive year, the World Series was televised in the United States by Fox. Play-by-play announcer Joe Davis (who was the Dodgers’ lead television announcer on Spectrum SportsNet LA during the regular season) called the games, along with Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz as color analyst and Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci as field reporters. Kevin Burkhardt hosted the pregame and postgame shows, joined by analysts Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and David Ortiz. Fox Deportes aired the Spanish-language telecasts, with play-by-play announcer Adrian Garcia Marquez, analyst Edgar Gonzalez, and reporters Carlos Alvarez and Jaime Motta.
In all best-of-seven postseason series, teams taking a 3-0 lead have gone on to win the series 39 of 40 times (98%), including 31 sweeps. Just two teams down 3-0 have even forced a Game 7: the 2020 Astros, who lost to the Rays in the ALCS, and the 2004 Red Sox, who beat the Yankees in the ALCS. The last team to force a Game 5 when down 3-0 in a World Series was the Reds in 1970 against the Orioles.
“I’ve definitely got to step up, and I’ve got to do my job,” Judge said. “Guys around me are doing their jobs, getting on base, and I’m failing at backing them up. We’ve got to turn it around in Game 3.”
The Dodgers added another run in the sixth inning when Gavin Lux was hit by a Jake Cousins pitch, stole second base, and scored on a single by Enrique Hernández. The Yankees left five runners on base over the next three innings before Alex Verdugo followed an Anthony Rizzo single with a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to cut the Los Angeles lead in half at 4–2. However, the next batter, Gleyber Torres, grounded out to end the game and give the Dodgers a 3–0 series lead. Buehler pitched five scoreless innings in the game for the Dodgers to receive the win.
So now, the Yankees face an uphill battle and the burden of history. Never has a team recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win a World Series. Famously, only the 2004 Boston Red Sox, against these very Yankees in the ALCS 20 years ago, have ever accomplished that feat in a postseason best-of-seven.
The first was the historic blast that took Game 1 in the 10th inning, the first World Series game to end on a walkoff grand slam. The second was a solo shot in Game 2 to put the Dodgers up 4-1 by the third inning.
