Mad world game
To that point, Volpe was 1-for-12 with two walks and seven strikeouts in the World Series, regressing from his strong start to the playoffs. After slashing .243/.293/.657 during the regular season, the second-year shortstop batted .3 lawn care slogans funny 10 with an .804 OPS through the American League Championship Series. He was swinging harder than he did during the regular season and walking more — eight walks in 37 plate appearances. He attributed the improvement to his work during the Yankees’ four off days between the regular season and the start of the AL Division Series.
9:38 p.m. — Gil walks Tommy Edman, and that ends his Game 4 outing. With Ohtani coming up as the tying run, the Yankees will turn toward Tim Hill. Gil’s final line: three earned runs, five hits, two walks and a strikeout in four innings pitched.
When Freeman connected with a Luis Gil slider in the first and punched it to the short porch in right for the two-run shot that made it 2-0, it was his fourth homer in as many games this series. He joined the Astros’ George Springer (2017) as the only players to go deep four games in a row within a single World Series, and he extended his personal World Series homer streak to a record-setting six games, dating back to 2021 with the Braves.
• Along with Will Smith’s in the fifth, this was the fifth World Series game with homers from multiple catchers. The others were 2019 Game 2 (Kurt Suzuki, Martín Maldonado), 1977 Game 5 (Steve Yeager, Thurman Munson), 1975 Game 3 (Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench) and 1948 Game 5 (Jim Hegan, Bill Salkeld).
World series game 3
Among the three, Buehler was probably the most uncertain. He returned from a second Tommy John surgery midway through the year, struggled through a 5.38 ERA in 16 regular-season starts and seemed to have lost his overpowering fastball.
The Dodgers win 4-2, as the Yankees couldn’t get their offense going until they were down to their final out. Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer in the first inning before Los Angeles added a couple insurance runs later in the game.

He also has started a pair of Game 3s in this postseason, allowing six runs over five innings in a 6-5 loss at San Diego and pitching four innings in an 8-0 win for Los Angeles on the road against the Mets.
The 30-year-old Ohtani hit .310 with 54 homers, 130 RBIs and 59 stolen bases, becoming the first player with at least 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a season. The two-way star did not pitch this season while recovering from elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023, and has been limited to designated hitter.

Our first one-run Game 3, Oregon State staved off elimination in Game 2 and then the Beavers’ Bill Rowe capitalized on a throwing error in Game 3 to score what would prove to be the title-winning run.
Beam has pitched in Tennessee’s rotation for the last three years. He’s been a consistent presence for the pitching staff and will go down as one of the best pitchers in program history. He ranks third in both career starts (50) and wins (26) in the Volunteers’ record book and has been a key part of the rotation for some of the best teams in the program’s history.
Who is hot and who is not?Dodgers: Edman continues his hot hitting, following up a two-hit Game 1 with a solo homer and a double in Game 2. Freeman has also homered in back-to-back games, extending his World Series home run streak to four games.
Harley Gollert went 7 innings in the Summit League Tournament opener against Omaha. Since then, there have been several quality starts of exactly five innings, which would be my hope for Fowler today.

Game 2 world series 2024
After back-to-back upset losses to division rivals in the postseason in 2022 and 2023, the Dodgers looked to reshape their roster. In the off-season, they signed superstar two-way player Shohei Ohtani to a record $700 million, 10 year contract. Other big additions were signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (from Japan through the posting system) and trading for starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow. During the regular season, the Dodgers were not quite as dominant as previous years due to various pitching injuries, a two-month hand injury to Mookie Betts, and a three-month abdominal injury to Max Muncy, failing to win 100 games for the first time in a full season since 2018. However, they still achieved the best win-loss record in the majors that year and won the National League West. They qualified for the postseason for the 12th consecutive season, dating back to 2013, the third-longest streak in MLB history.
Soto singled and advanced on a wild pitch, and Giancarlo Stanton drove him home by banging a base hit off the third-base bag. Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to put runners at first and second with one out, and Treinen plunked Anthony Rizzo with a 2-2 pitch to load the bases. But Treinen got a huge strikeout of Anthony Volpe, and Alex Vesia retired Jose Trevino on one pitch for the final out to bring the loud noises back again.
In the bottom of the inning, Treinen allowed a one-out double to Judge and a walk, but induced a flyout to Stanton and struck out Rizzo to complete 2+1⁄3 scoreless innings of relief in his longest outing of the season. With the Dodgers still maintaining a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth, and with very few remaining bullpen options available, Dave Roberts called on Game 3 starter Walker Buehler to close out the game and season. Buehler, on one day’s rest, pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Austin Wells and Alex Verdugo for the final two outs and clinching the title for Los Angeles.
• Yamamoto was exactly what the Dodgers needed, delivering the 11th start of at least six innings and one or no hits allowed in World Series history. It was the first of those by a rookie and the second by a Dodger, joining Rich Hill in Game 4 in 2018.
