The 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees resumed Monday night with Game 3. Shohei Ohtani is leading off the game as the Dodgers’ designated hitter. Despite suffering a shoulder injury in Game 2 on Saturday night, Ohtani is back in action after testing showed no structural damage. Here’s how to watch Game 3.
The Dodgers have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven World Series, making Game 3 close to a must-win for the Yankees. New York is playing its first home game since Oct. 15, and the team will need more from Aaron Judge. The presumptive AL MVP is 1 for 9 with a single and six strikeouts so far in his first World Series.
The Dodgers sent right-hander Walker Buehler to the mound to start. He’s coming off a tough regular season, but he did perform better his last time out in the NLCS against the New York Mets. The Yankees, for their part, countered with righty Clarke Schmidt, who will be making his third outing of the postseason. In his first two, he tallied a 3.86 ERA and a 6-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 9 ⅓ innings.
Game 1 hero Freddie Freeman got the fun started in the first inning with a two-run home run, driving in Ohtani after he walked to lead off the game. That makes it five straight World Series games for Freeman with a homer. Mookie Betts drove in a run in the third to make it 3-0.
