Yankees Snap Dodgers' World Series Win Streak
New York Takes Game 3 in Dramatic Fashion
Aaron Judge Blasts Two Homers as Yankees Even Series
The New York Yankees ended the Los Angeles Dodgers' four-game winning streak in the World Series with a 5-4 victory in Game 3 on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge was the hero for the Yankees, blasting two solo home runs off Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw. Judge's first homer gave the Yankees an early 1-0 lead, and his second homer in the sixth inning broke a 3-3 tie. The Yankees also got a big boost from their bullpen, which threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings after starter Gerrit Cole was pulled in the fifth inning. Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth inning to earn the save. The Dodgers had a chance to tie the game in the ninth inning, but Will Smith grounded out to end the game with runners on first and second. The win evens the World Series at 2-2. Game 4 will be played on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.The Yankees' victory was a major upset, as the Dodgers had been heavily favored to win the World Series. The Dodgers have now lost four straight games in the World Series, dating back to last year's Fall Classic against the Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees, on the other hand, have won two straight games after dropping the first two games of the series in Los Angeles. The Yankees are now one win away from tying the series and forcing a Game 7.
Judge's performance in Game 3 was particularly impressive. The Yankees slugger now has three home runs in the World Series, and he is batting .462 with a 1.714 OPS in the series.
The Yankees will need Judge to continue to produce if they want to win the World Series. The Dodgers are a tough opponent, but the Yankees have shown that they can beat them.
