Dodgers push Yankees to the brink NEW YORK -- Walker Buehler pitched five scoreless innings, Freddie Freeman belted a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers continued to act like the deeper, better, more sound team in this World Series, beating the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night.
The Dodgers hold a commanding 3-0 series lead. Now, to somehow win it all, the Yankees will have to become the second team ever -- after the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship Series -- to win four consecutive games with their season on the line in a best-of-seven series. The Yankees were last shut out in the World Series during Game 6 in 2003, when the then-Florida Marlins clinched a title. The Dodgers -- plagued by injuries to their starting pitchers throughout the regular season -- now have five shutouts in these playoffs, tied with Cleveland in 2016 for the most in a single postseason.
