They applied more pressure early in Game 3, and now they’re a victory away from winning the World Series. Except when the fastball is playing like it did in the World Series on Monday night. In the first inning, Buehler started Judge with a fastball over the middle that he was late on. New York’s bats go silent once againThe Yankees’ offense has scored seven runs through the first three games of the World Series.

The trio of Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman combined to swat home runs off Yankees starter Carlos Rodón. The Dodgers demonstrated the depth of their roster besides Ohtani; he went hitless and the club still cruised. Handed a lead, Yamamoto limited the Yankees to one run in 6 1/3 innings while wielding his split-fingered fastball like a scythe. But he may be more important to the Yankees than Ohtani is to the Dodgers. In the 10th inning of Game 1, he warmed up two left-handed relievers to prepare to face Ohtani and Freeman.

After his final swing in a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series, he only had to trot. He swatted a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam on Friday night, a slight improvement on Gibson’s legendary walk-off in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Dodgers starter Jack Flaherty kept the Yankees off the board until Giancarlo Stanton hit a monstrous, two-run homer in the sixth.

Freddie Freeman played Kirk Gibson this time, lashing Nestor Cortes’ first pitch over the right field fence for the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. Will Smith made him pay with a sacrifice fly to right field in the next at-bat to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. In the fifth inning, Soto misplayed a Hernández triple down the right-field line, which Statcast estimated had a 5 percent catch probability. Then, in the eighth inning, Ohtani blasted a double off the right-field wall. For all of his offensive success, Soto’s biggest weakness remains his defense, which cost the Yankees in Game 1.

The Houston Astros on Tuesday night seemed drawn to the sound of it, gushing from their dugout in twos and threes and then all of them, by the time Yordan Alvarez’s walk-off home run landed in the second deck of Minute Maid Park’s right field. For the second time in postseason history, a player had homered with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning to win a game, the first being Kirk Gibson for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1988 World Series. For the first time, Alvarez’s home run—with two runners on base—had overcome a deficit of more than one run.
