The Yankees' bats struggled again and are now batting .186/.284/.294 in the series. They avoided a shutout with a two-run homer by Alex Verdugo in the ninth inning. The Dodgers are now one win away from clinching their eighth World Series title and can complete a series sweep in Game 4 on Tuesday night. No team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in the World Series.
