The Los Angeles Dodgers continued to spark excitement Saturday night after Freddie Freeman hit a stunning walk-off home run against the New York Yankees.
In Game 2, Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed only one hit and one run in 6 1/3 innings, and the Dodgers won 4-2. He threw 86 pitches and allowed only two walks.

Yamamoto's only blemish was a solo home run off Juan Soto in the third inning. It was Soto's fourth home run of the postseason, but Yamamoto remained calm and did not allow any more hits.
Los Angeles took the lead in the bottom of the second inning when Tommy Edman hit a solo home run into the left field seats. Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run homer in the third inning, and Freeman followed with a solo homer.
Soto had an extra-base hit in his ninth inning start, helping the Yankees try to fight back. Giancarlo Stanton's liner down the third base line scored Soto. The Yankees loaded the bases, but the Dodgers slammed the door.

The Yankees' offense was nowhere to be seen for most of the game.
Aaron Judge still looked lethargic at the plate, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Anthony Volpe struck out in a big spot in the bottom of the 9th inning, his second of the game.
There was quiet jubilation as the Dodgers took a 2-0 series lead. Dodgers suffered a serious injury late in the game.
Ohtani left the game at the end of the seventh inning after attempting to steal second base. It looked like he hurt his left shoulder with a slider. He grabbed his shoulder and left the field.
Japanese media apparently caught Ohtani telling a trainer that his shoulder “popped out.”
