Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch of the Yankees’ 4-2 World Series Game 3 loss to the Dodgers on Monday night in The Bronx:

Hero

Dodgers righthander Walker Buehler returned to his former All-Star form with five shutout innings, the last pitcher to close out the fading Yankee lineup.

Zero

It wasn’t just that Clarke Schmidt was bad, but by getting just eight outs, he forced the Yankee bullpen to throw 6 ¹/₃ innings.

Unsung hero

Freddie Freeman’s two-run shot off Schmidt in the first inning sent the Dodgers to another victory, and he has now homered in five consecutive World Series games.
