The New York Yankees are in a tough spot in the 2024 World Series, trailing 2-0 after falling 4-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.

Offensively, the team struggled to find their rhythm, with Juan Soto providing the only highlight through eight innings. Soto recorded two hits, including a solo home run in the third inning.

Aaron Judge, the Bombers’ captain, had a particularly rough night, going hitless in four at-bats and striking out three times. He has managed just one hit in nine plate appearances during the series, raising concerns about his performance.

The Yankees’ pitching woes continued as starter Carlos Rodon lasted only three and one-third innings, giving up six hits and four earned runs while striking out three.

In the ninth inning, the Yankees loaded the bases with one out, offering a glimmer of hope. However, Anthony Volpe and Jose Trevino could not capitalize on the situation, failing to bring in any runs.

This defeat follows a heartbreaking loss the previous night when the Dodgers won on a walk-off grand slam by Freddie Freeman. The Yankees’ struggles have drawn criticism from fans and analysts, particularly regarding Judge and the team’s overall offensive performance.

The series shifts to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Monday, where the Yankees will aim to turn things around on their home field.
