Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered an outstanding performance in his first World Series start, pitching 6.1 innings of one-hit ball and retiring the final 11 batters he faced, as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 4-2 on Saturday night to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. Yamamoto generated 12 whiffs and allowed only a solo home run to Juan Soto. Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight night, and the Dodgers hit three early home runs off Yankees’ starter Carlos Rodon.
