play

NEW YORK — This World Series has reached a fork in the road for Game 3: Coronation or competition?

The New York Yankees will look to revive their season and revive hopes that this fall classic will be an all-timer when they send Clarke Schmidt to the mound at Yankee Stadium to face a Los Angeles Dodgers team that has become increasingly difficult to reach. beat with each successive round.

The Dodgers take a 2-0 lead in the Series in the Bronx and will hand the baseball to playoff ace Walker Buehler in hopes of gaining what will likely be an insurmountable lead. Just keep the bullpens ready: Schmidt has thrown 4 ⅓ innings in each of his playoff outings, one of which was a Yankee victory, while Buehler pitched four tough, if shutout, innings in Game 3 of the NLCS, clinching the victory of the Dodgers in six games.

Buehler is making his 18th career playoff start and struck out 107 batters in those 88 ⅔ innings. It is also his third start in a World Series Game 3 and the Dodgers won the previous two, including their 18-inning win over the Boston Red Sox in 2018 after Buehler pitched seven shutout innings.

Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani is expected back in the lineup after suffering a shoulder subluxation in Game 2 on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Yankees are hoping Aaron Judge can reverse his 1-for-9, six-strikeout performance in the first two games.

Follow along for live updates from Game 3:

NEW YORK – Salvador Perez finally returned to the playoffs this year after an absence of almost a decade. Yet his impact in Venezuela and Kansas City never really disappeared.

Perez, the Royals’ nine-time All-Star catcher and a likely future Hall of Famer, received the Roberto Clemente Award Monday night during a Yankee Stadium ceremony before Game 3 of the World Series.

Perez, 34, has previously been nominated for baseball’s most outstanding award for community efforts off the field. He has provided food and medicine to families in his Venezuelan hometown of Valencia every winter, and has also paid for thousands of surgeries for children to repair cleft lips. Perhaps most notably, he helped with relief efforts in neighboring Colombia during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, entering the country on foot when driving was banned.

He has also donated $1 million to the Royals’ youth academy in Kansas City.

“If you just choose one day a month — two or three hours — to have fun,” Perez said Monday night before Game 3, “go make a kid happy, they will never, ever forget that.” − Gabe Lacques, USA TODAY Sports

NEW YORK − One swing of Jose Trevino’s bat may have influenced Aaron Boone’s thinking before Game 3.

Trailing by two games to zero in the 120th World Series, the Yankees have made one lineup change for Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Austin Wells is out of the lineup and Trevino is the catcher, with Clarke Schmidt on the mound in an obviously crucial Game 3, the first World Series game in the Bronx in 15 years.

Wells is 1-for-8 with three strikeouts in the Series so far, and the left-handed rookie is hitting just .098 (4-for-41) with a homer and three RBI this postseason.

Trevino has made just one start so far this postseason, catching Schmidt in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series in Cleveland, which the Yankees lost 7-5 to the Guardians in 10 innings.

Trevino’s first at-bat in the World Series ended Game 2 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. He served as a pinch-hitter for Wells and flied out to deep center with the bases loaded in a 4-2 Yankees loss. – Pete Caldera, NorthJersey.com

As the New York Yankees hosted their first World Series game since 2009, the team had someone from that last championship team throw out the first pitch.

Derek Jeter, the five-time World Series champion and the Yankees’ all-time scoring leader, threw out the ceremonial first pitch Monday before the Yankees took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

The Baseball Hall of Famer spent all 20 seasons of his big league career in the pinstripes and won his last World Series title with the franchise in 2009 when New York defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. In that series, Jeter went 11-for-27 – a batting average of .407 – with one RBI and five runs scored. − Jordan Mendoza, USA TODAY Sports

World Series Game three times tonight: Yankees vs. Dodgers

The first pitch is planned 8:08 PM ET on Monday at Yankee Stadium.

Here’s how to watch World Series Game 3

NEW YORK – An awkward slide and a shoulder subluxation can’t keep Shohei Ohtani out of the World Series lineup.

Ohtani will take the lead again in Game 3 on Monday night as the World Series shifts to New York, two days after the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar partially dislocated his left shoulder on a stolen base attempt in Game 2.

Ohtani left the stadium immediately after the game, and after a day of both diagnostic tests and Ohtani’s anticipation of trying to swing off a tee and into a cage, the Dodgers decided he was good to go for Game 3.

Ohtani flew separately from the team on Sunday after undergoing further testing and manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani would be in the lineup against New York Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt if he could manage the pain. The team does not believe Ohtani will risk further injuries by playing.

Yankee Stadium must be a fortress: ‘We need our fans more than ever’

NEW YORK – It was almost fifteen years to the day that Shane Victorino rolled a slow ground ball to second baseman Robinson Cano and before Cano could even complete the throw to first base, a sea of ​​pinstriped gentlemen began pouring out of Yankee Stadium . duoout at first base to celebrate the team’s 27e championship.

That 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series was the last Fall Classic game in the Bronx, a drought that will be broken Monday night.

It’s not what the Yankees wanted: to come home trailing 2-0 in this World Series, with a pair of disheartening losses in Los Angeles providing only so much comfort in the fact that the Yankees were taking on the Dodgers. – who needed a walk-off Freddie Freeman grand slam to win Game 1 – but came up short twice.

Take advantage of the home advantage.

“I think we definitely need our fans now more than ever,” said first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “They support us, they pump us up, they put pressure on other teams. The Bronx is a special place. When that stadium shakes, we feel it.

“We need every ounce of their energy coming in on Monday.”

How will the World Series go this year? Using the Dynasty League Baseball online simulation, USA TODAY Sports’ Steve Gardner and DLB designer Mike Cieslinski will preview each game to provide some insight into the key matchups and strategy fans can expect in the Fall Classic.

With a few big innings early, the Los Angeles Dodgers made quick work of the New York Yankees, rolling to a 9-5 victory in Game 3 of USA TODAY Sports’ annual Simulated World Series.

The Dodgers jumped on Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt for three quick runs in the first inning, then knocked him out with a five-spot in the third on their way to taking a 2-1 series lead.

The Dodgers wasted no time in hammering Yankees Game 3 starter Clarke Schmidt. Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts started the game with consecutive singles, but it looked like Schmidt might get out of the inning unscathed when Freddie Freeman grounded into a double play.

However, Teoscar Hernandez put LA on top with an RBI single and Max Muncy followed with a two-run homer into the short porch of Yankee Stadium in right field and the Dodgers were on their way.

The first two Yankees also singled in the bottom of the first, but Aaron Judge grounded out and Dodger starter Walker Buehler retired Giancarlo Stanton and Jazz Chisholm to end the threat.

Schmidt worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning, but couldn’t survive the third as Tommy Edman doubled, Miguel Rojas added an RBI single and Ohtani hit a huge blast to right center — all with two outs — to the score equalizing it 8-0.

The Yanks did score twice in the eighth and got a three-run homer from Gleyber Torres in the ninth, but that wasn’t enough.
