Yankees vs. Dodgers Game 2 score, live updates: Los Angeles looking to take 2-0 series lead after Freddie Freeman’s epic game-winner

If the Yankees and Dodgers can come anywhere close to the drama and excitement of Game 1 again in this World Series, baseball fans will be rejoicing. Freddie Freeman’s epic, walk-off grand slam to lift the Dodgers to a 6-3 win and a 1-0 lead in the series was the first walk-off grand slam in the World Series, and it came on the very first pitch Nestor Cortes threw to him.

While the good news for the Dodgers is that they’re up 1-0 in the World Series, thanks to Freeman’s epic Kirk Gibson impression (h/t Joe Davis for his Vin Scully nod), the good news for the Yankees is that it counts for only one, and New York can still take home-field advantage in the series with a win Saturday.

Carlos Rodón (1-1, 4.40 ERA, 14.1 IP 22 K, 1 BB in 2024 postseason) is starting for the Yankees against Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-0, 5.11 ERA, 12.1 IP, 11 K, 4 BB) for the Dodgers.

    Can theYankees take their walks tonight?

    The entirety of World Series Game 1 featured just two non-intentional walks: a Juan Soto BB in the 1st inning and Gavin Lux’s crucial free pass in the bottom of the 10th that allowed the top of the Dodgers order the chance to walk things off. The first batter of Game 2, Gleyber Torres, just walked to start the evening. That’s a key for the Yanks, who walked 70 more times this year than any other club.

  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto fires a 98 mph fastball to Gleyber Torres, and we’re off in Game 2 of the 2024 World Series after a four-minute Ice Cube delay.

    Can the Dodgers take a 2-0 lead as the series heads to New York, or will the Yankees even it up and steal home-field advantage? Let’s find out.

  • Dave Roberts was also a fan.

  • Ice Cube is now rapping in the Dodger Stadium outfield. Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo appears to be enjoying himself.

  • A pregame show featuring three former players, all of whom retired in 2014 or later, either not knowing what resistance bands are or pretending to not know what they are is an odd look. They were watching Carlos Rodón warm up with them a few minutes ago.

  • Some notes about the lineups: It’s the exact same lineup as yesterday for the Yankees, while the Dodgers did some rearranging to prepare for left-handed NYY starter Carlos Rodón after facing the right-handed Gerrit Cole.

    Tommy Edman, a lefty masher, moves up from ninth to fifth in the lineup and also moves to center field, while Kiké Hernández moves to second base and the left-handed Gavin Lux sits. Miguel Rojas, who missed the NLCS with a leg injury, gets his first start at shortstop.

    Game 1 hero Freddie Freeman also swapped from third to cleanup with Teoscar Hernández.

  • Game 2 starting lineups

    Carlos Rodón will face Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
