The Los Angeles Dodgers were two wins away from a World Series title but lost Shohei Ohtani to injury while beating the New York Yankees 4-2 in Game 2 on Saturday.

Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman hit back-to-back home runs, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto held the Yankees to one hit through 6.1 innings before Ohtani was injured on a stolen base attempt in the seventh inning.

The Dodgers got on the board first in the second inning on a home run by NLCS MVP Tommy Edman.

The Yankees responded immediately with a home run by Juan Soto in the top of the third inning.

The Dodgers responded in the bottom of the frame when Hernández hit a two-run homer to Mookie Betts and himself.

Freeman followed with a home run of his own to put the home team three points ahead.

The home run was Freeman’s second in as many games, following his walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning of Game 1 on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto shutout the Yankees in his first game of the World Series. Soto’s homer was the only hit-and-run he allowed in his 6.1 innings on the mound.

The Dodgers ran into trouble in the bottom of the seventh inning when Ohtani’s attempt to steal second base went awry and he appeared to suffer a shoulder injury on the play.

Like the Dodgers the night before, the Yankees loaded the bases before the final inning of the night. Unlike Freeman, Jose Trevino was unable to capitalize on this opportunity in the ninth round.

While Mookie Betts, Hernández and Edman recorded multiple hits for the Dodgers, Soto was the only hitter to record multiple hits for the visitors. Yankees captain Aaron Judge was held without a hit and was struck out three times as Carlos Rodon recorded the loss.

The Dodgers will head into New York with a 2-0 series lead but will face questions about Ohtani’s availability going forward.

The World Series continues on Monday when the Yankees return to the Bronx for the first home game of the series. The first shot of the 3rd match is planned to be made at 20.08.
