• 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.
When Buehler struck out Verdugo to end the game, the Dodgers poured onto the field to celebrate between the mound and first base, capping a season in which they led the big leagues with 98 wins. With several thousand Dodgers fans remaining in a mostly empty stadium, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred presented the trophy on a platform quickly erected over second base.
After Stanton’s sixth-inning sacrifice fly put the Yankees back ahead 6-5, the Dodgers loaded the bases against losing pitcher Tommy Kahnle in the eighth before the sacrifice flies off Luke Weaver. Judge doubled off winner Blake Treinen with one out in the bottom half and Chisholm walked. Manager Dave Roberts walked to the mound with Treinen at 37 pitches.
There was the heartbreak of the 2017 World Series, a seven-game loss to a Houston Astros team that was later revealed to have been illegally stealing signs. The crushing finality to 2019, when the underdog Washington Nationals came from behind in the decisive game of the National League Division Series. And the sheer disappointments of 2022 and 2023, when they were ousted early by two division rivals — the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks, respectively — that they previously dominated.
Game 2 world series
After the Dodgers edged the New York Yankees in an unbelievable World Series opener on Friday night, they picked up where they left off in a 4-2 Game 2 victory but now await the status of superstar Shohei Ohtani after he exited because of an apparent shoulder injury. Following the game, manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani suffered a subluxation of his left shoulder and will undergo further testing Sunday, but his strength and range of motion are good.
Though the Yankees struck back with a Juan Soto solo shot — the lone mistake from Yamamoto — in the top of the third, the game wasn’t knotted for long. In the bottom of the third, the loaded Dodgers lineup feasted on Rodón fastballs to mount a two-out rally.
The Dodgers got on the board first in the second inning on Tommy Edman’s solo home run off Carlos Rodón. Soto evened the score in the top of the third but that’s where the offense stalled for New York. The Dodgers extended their lead later that inning on Teoscar Hernández’s two-run home run to the right field stands. Moments later Freddie Freeman — the hero of Game 1 — hit a solo shot to make it 4-1 Los Angeles.

Game 2 world series 2024
All this rapture made the sound of silence when Ohtani lay in pain at second base all the more piercing. Ohtani had drawn a walk off Clay Holmes and attempted to swipe a bag, just as he had done 59 times in the regular season. This time, his left hand hit the ground hard on his slide, and the force went to his shoulder.
• The three homers were tied for the most by a team in the first three innings of a World Series game. The Phillies did in Game 3 in 2022, the Giants in Game 2 in 2002 and the Yankees in Game 2 in 1977. That’s right – it’s the second time it’s happened in a Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 2. It was Ron Cey, Yeager and Smith off Catfish Hunter in 1977.
The up-and-down nature of Rodón’s postseason spelled trouble the moment New York lost Game 1 to Los Angeles. More than anything, the Yankees needed a reliable starter who would give them the best chance to return to the Bronx with a series split. That made right-hander Clarke Schmidt the superior option for Game 2, not only because he has been more consistent on the road than Rodón, who pitches better at home, but also because the Dodgers hit lefties so well. Why take that chance when the Yankees had to get even?
