Freddie Freeman is only the second player in Major League history to hit multiple home runs and a triple in the first games of a World Series. The iconic Babe Ruth, Yankees legend, had achieved that feat in 1923. It is not the first time that the Californian has watched in amazement as a gigantic baseball park rises to the deafening roar of his bat.
In the first inning at Yankee Stadium, Freeman opened the third chapter for the championship with another collectible hit, sending the ball 355 feet over right field to set the course for a 4-2 victory against the New York ninth. York.
The Angelenos now have a 3-0 lead, despite the fact that Mexican Álex Verdugo brought the Yankees closer with a two-run home run in the ninth.
Freeman, an eight-time league All-Star, took the same confident, commanding trot as he hit the pitch from Clarke Schmidt, who, as soon as he visualized the direction of the ball, swatted his glove and looked down in resignation. The home run put two points on the board, including Japan’s Shohei Othani, before Gavin Lux and Tommy Edman took care of the rest.
It was the fifth consecutive game in which the Dodgers’ star hitter, who tied George Springer’s record, hit a home run in the World Series.
The 35-year-old first baseman has seven RBIs in this Fall Classic. With the Atlanta Braves, in the 2021 final, he hit a hard time in the last two games against Houston. Not satisfied with that, he stepped on all three bases again with two home runs in the first three of the current edition. Only a sprained right ankle, which he suffered on September 26 against San Diego, stopped him from missing the end of the regular season.
On the mound, right-hander Walker Buehler shut down New York’s guns in five complete innings. Only Giancarlo Stanton, known for his prodigious talent with the wooden stick, hit two hits that were about to bring the Yankees closer in the first five rolls. Anthony Rizzo and Anthony Volpe added efforts for the locals, but even the replacements of Brusdar Graterol, Alex Vesia, Daniel Hudson and Michael Kopech maintained control of the game in a venue that could only wake up with Verdugo’s bomb.
