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.

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.
