The Yankees returned from a challenging trip to California with determination, despite being down 2-0 in the World Series. Historically, they have shown resilience by winning four World Series after falling behind two games. However, overcoming a 3-0 deficit has only happened once in major league history, making Game 3 crucial for the Yankees.
Unfortunately, the Yankees struggled in Game 3, with the Dodgers taking a 4-2 victory and moving one win away from a World Series sweep. Yankees’ pitcher Clarke Schmidt faced challenges with his pitching, particularly his cutter, leading to early struggles for the team. Despite a strong bullpen performance, the Yankees’ offense failed to produce, falling short of mounting a comeback.
The game featured missed opportunities and tough breaks for the Yankees, including key moments where potential runs were left on the bases. Ultimately, the Dodgers capitalized on their opportunities, securing a significant lead that the Yankees could not overcome. As the pressure mounts for the Yankees, they face a critical moment in the series and must regroup for the upcoming games.
