The October classic is shaping up nicely for the Blue Crew, as the Yanks fell victim to the hazy but beautiful and picturesque settings carved into the hillside of Chavez Ravine, overlooking downtown LA to the south and the San Gabriel mountains to the north
During New York’s peacful slumber, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-2 victory over them n Game 2 of the 2024 World Series, held at Dodger Stadium. This win marked a 2-0 lead in the series for the Dodgers. The game was highlighted by solid pitching and key offensive plays that helped the Dodgers overcome a strong Yankee bullpen and an unfortunate injury to star player Shohei Ohtani.
Starting for the Dodgers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was a standout, delivering an impressive 6 1/3 innings. He allowed just one run on a solo homer from Juan Soto and managed to keep the Yankees’ powerful lineup in check with efficient pitching. Yamamoto limited the Yankees to only a handful of hits, neutralizing star hitters like Aaron Judge, who struggled against him and went 1-for-8 over the first two games of the series.
The Dodgers took advantage early, capitalizing on a shaky third inning from Yankees starter Carlos Rodón. Rodón struggled, allowing three runs before being pulled out after 3 1/3 innings. His early exit set the stage for a Yankees bullpen that performed admirably, allowing no hits for the final 2 2/3 innings. But the damage was done, as the Dodgers had already built a lead that the Yankees couldn’t overcome.
A notable but unfortunate moment came when Shohei Ohtani, on a steal attempt, appeared to injure his shoulder, leading to concerns about his availability for the rest of the series. His exit added a somber note to the Dodgers’ win, as Ohtani’s performance has been critical throughout the season.
With a 4-2 lead, the Dodgers’ bullpen closed out the game effectively, maintaining the advantage Yamamoto built and preventing any late comeback attempts by the Yankees. This win has set up the Dodgers with a strong position as they head to New York for Game 3 @ 17:08.
