The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win from a surprising World Series sweep of the New York Yankees – and a second title in five years – after Freddie Freeman’s historic power streak continued to reduce a hotly anticipated showdown featuring baseball’s two most storied franchises to one-way traffic.
The Dodgers’ veteran first baseman matched George Springer’s record of homering in five straight World Series games during Monday night’s Game 3 with a two-run drive into the right-field stands in the first inning. The home run kickstarted a 4-2 victory that opened a commanding 3-0 lead for Los Angeles in the best-of-seven tie.
