Dodgers Dominate as Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman Lead the Charge in Game 3 of the World Series

With the spotlight on Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, both players delivered standout performances that reminded everyone just how taxing it is for pitchers to face the Dodgers' lineup.

Despite Shohei Ohtani being visibly limited due to a shoulder injury sustained in Game 2, the Dodgers proved they didn't need their star at full capacity to dominate. Instead, it was a stellar pitching performance by Walker Buehler and clutch offensive efforts from Betts and Freeman that sealed the win.

Freeman, who continues to build a strong case for World Series MVP, blasted a two-run homer in the first inning off Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt, instantly silencing the Bronx crowd. Betts added to the lead with a key RBI single, extending the Dodgers' advantage to 3-0. Though Schmidt battled hard, the relentless discipline and depth of the Dodgers' lineup were simply too much for the Yankees to handle.

This game was a testament to the resilience and depth of the Dodgers, whose offensive versatility and defensive excellence kept them ahead. As Betts dazzled with both his bat and glove, and Freeman continued his MVP-caliber performance, the Dodgers inched closer to their ultimate goal: the World Series championship.

With just one more win needed, the Dodgers are on the brink of sweeping the Yankees and cementing their dominance in the 2024 season. Will they finish the job? One thing’s for sure—Betts, Freeman, and the rest of the team are laser-focused on hoisting that trophy.
