Just two teams down 3-0 have even forced a Game 7: The 2020 Astros, who lost to the Rays in the ALCS, and the 2004 Red Sox, who famously beat the Yankees in the ALCS.< nbcvisit survey /p>
Another run came in the third, when NLCS MVP Tommy Edman drew a walk, advanced to second on an Ohtani groundout and then made a great read on Mookie Betts’ opposite-field single to right to motor home and make it 3-0. The Dodgers could have broken the game open that inning after they loaded the bases and compelled Boone to go to his bullpen by bringing in Mark Leiter Jr. with two outs. But Will Smith grounded out to end the threat.
“Hopefully we can go be this amazing story and shock the world,” manager Aaron Boone said. “But right now it’s about trying to get a lead, trying to grab a game, and force another one, and then on from there.”

Oct. 16, 1909 — Pirates 8, Tigers 0On just one day of rest, Babe Adams tossed a six-hit shutout for the Pirates, who easily won baseball’s first winner-take-all Game 7. It marked Ty Cobb’s last appearance in a World Series and the third consecutive year the Tigers lost in the Fall Classic.
As Corbin kept delivering big outs in relief, the Nats kept adding insurance. They got a run in the eighth when Adam Eaton walked, swiped second and scored on Soto’s single off Osuna.

This World Series marks the first seven-game series in U.S. sports history in which the road team won every game. The Nationals took the first two games in Houston, and the Astros took the next three in D.C. The Nationals then wrapped up the series with the latest two victories back in Houston.
World series game 3
This was another ineffective evening for the Yankees’ captain Aaron Judge, another night when they struggled to get help from the bottom half of their lineup (when they had two aboard and two out with Anthony Banda on the mound for L.A. in the seventh, Gleyber Torres was called out looking for strike three), another night when their starter didn’t have it. Though Verdugo’s two-out, two-run homer in the ninth put a late jolt into the building, it was too late to spark a real rally.
The baseball season continues! Thanks to a flagging Dodgers bullpen game, a fiery Bronx crowd and a night Anthony Volpe will remember for the rest of his life, the Yankees kept their season alive with an 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday.
