Yankees vs. Dodgers Game 2 score, live updates: Los Angeles looks to take 2-0 series lead after Freddie Freeman’s epic game-winner

If the Yankees and Dodgers can even come close to the drama and excitement of Game 1 again in this World Series, baseball fans will be rejoicing. Freddie Freeman’s epic, walk-off grand slam to lift the Dodgers to a 6-3 win and a 1-0 lead in the series was the first walk-off grand slam in any World Series game and came on the very first pitch Nestor Cortes threw to him.

While the good news for the Dodgers is that they’re up 1-0 in the World Series, thanks to Freeman’s epic Kirk Gibson impression (h/t Joe Davis for his Vin Scully nod, also), the good news for the Yankees is that it only counts for one, and New York can still take home-field advantage in the series with a win Saturday night.

Carlos Rodón (1-1, 4.40 ERA, 14.1 IP 22 K, 1 BB in 2024 postseason) starts for the Yankees against Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-0, 5.11 ERA, 12.1 IP, 11 K, 4 BB) for the Dodgers with first pitch set for 8:08 p.m. ET in Los Angeles.

Some notes about the lineups: It’s the exact same lineup as yesterday for the Yankees, while the Dodgers did some rearranging to prepare for left-handed NYY starter Carlos Rodón after facing the right-handed Gerrit Cole.

Tommy Edman, a lefty masher, moves up from ninth to fifth in the lineup and also moves to center field, while Kiké Hernández moves to second base and the left-handed Gavin Lux sits. Miguel Rojas, who missed the NLCS with a leg injury, gets his first start at shortstop.

Game 1 hero Freddie Freeman also swapped from third to cleanup with Teoscar Hernández.
