The Los Angeles Dodgers won and lost on Saturday night.

They won Game 2 of the World Series 4-2 against the New York Yankees to take a two-games-to-none lead. But they lost superstar Shohei Ohtani to an apparent left shoulder injury on a stolen base attempt in the seventh inning.

The extent of the injury and Ohtani’s availability for the remainder of the series remain unknown.

Before the sight of Ohtani writhing in pain quieted the crowd, it was another joyful evening at Dodger Stadium, and the man in the spotlight was Dodgers rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

After his 80th pitch, in the sixth inning, Yamamoto turned away from the mound, pumped his fists and roared. He had just snuck a splitter past Aaron Judge’s bat for an inning-ending strikeout. Judge walked back to the Yankees dugout, shaking his head.

That image told the story of this World Series so far. The Dodgers delivered. Judge and the Yankees search for answers. In a crucial Game 2, they recorded only four hits, three of which came in the ninth inning.

Yamamoto gave the Dodgers 6 1/3 innings of one-run baseball. He received a handshake from manager Dave Roberts and a standing ovation from the crowd as he left. He had done his job – and then some.

Yankees starter Carlos Rodón’s homer problem reared its ugly head again at the worst time. In the second inning, Tommy Edman homered. (Juan Soto answered.) In the third, Rodón struck out Ohtani before running into trouble with two outs: Mookie Betts singled, Teoscár Hernández and Freddie Freeman homered back-to-back, and Edman doubled. Rodón was pulled after 3 1/3 innings, having allowed six hits, half of which were home runs, and four runs.

The bigger concern in the Bronx is the continued disappearance of the Yankees’ star slugger. Judge was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts, bringing his postseason line to 6 for 40 (.150).

Soto’s home run was the Yankees’ only hit until the ninth, when he started a rally by hitting a single off the wall against Blake Treinen. Giancarlo Stanton and Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled. Anthony Rizzo was hit by pitcher, loading the bases and putting the tying run in scoring position. But Treinen smelled Anthony Volpe, and left-handed Alex Vesia flied out pinch-hitter Jose Trevino’s first pitch.

The Yankees will start Clarke Schmidt opposite Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in Game 3 Monday night at Yankee Stadium.
