Freeman wasted no time in Game 3, making the most of a missed spot. Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt and a two-run homer into the right field seat with two outs to give Los Angeles a 2-0 lead in this one.

Meanwhile, Dodgers starter Walker Buehler silenced them with a roaring crowd in the Bronx with five strikeouts and two hit balls with five strikeouts.

YANKEES FACE INCREDIBLE PRESSURE AS THE WORLD SERIES RETURNS TO THE BRONX

Both of those hits came in the fifth inning; As he paced, his offense got another run in the top of the third inning thanks to Mookie Betts’ single to score Tommy Edman, and he still didn’t do it. Coming back in the sixth, Kiké Hernández hit an RBI single to make it 4-0.

Buehler’s fastball clearly worked from the beginning of the game, as Yankee hitters were unable to keep up with him, which ultimately led to him using effective breaking pitches to his advantage. Just like Jack Flaherty did in Game 1 and Yoshinobu Yamamoto did in Game 2, the Dodgers’ starter was effective and allowed the offense to swing freely knowing they had a solid foundation on the mound.

The only offense they could muster for the Yankees came in the final out when Alex Verdugo parked a Michael Kopech pitch for a two-run home run to stay alive in the game.

Aaron Judge, who has struggled mightily in this postseason, let alone the World Series, was under a lot of pressure heading into Game 3 as he was 1-for-9 with six strikeouts in the first two games.

Unfortunately, the Yankees couldn’t find it in Game 3 either, going 0-for-3 with another hit and a walk.

The Yankees came close to scoring a home run earlier in this game in the bottom of the fifth inning when Giancarlo Stanton got the Yankees into the hitting column with a double to left field. Anthony Volpe hit a single with two outs to left field, but the not-quite-nimble Stanton waved home by third base coach Luis Rojas.

Teoscar Hernandez threw a perfect pitch because Will Smith didn’t have to move his glove as he caught the ball and applied the tag to end the inning.

At that moment, the crowd, which had returned to the game as the Yankees showed their liveliness, fell silent once again as the Dodgers continued to play outstanding baseball.

Stanton went 2-for-4 on the night, while only Volpe, Anthony Rizzo and Verdugo had a hit.

Brusdar Graterol, Alex Vesia, Daniel Hudson, Anthony Banda and Ryan Braiser continued the Dodgers’ scoreless streak until Kopech’s fumble to Verdugo.
