Freddie Freeman mashed. Walker Buehler dealt. And the Los Angeles Dodgers are on the verge of the franchise’s eighth World Series championship.
After winning Games 1 and 2 at home, the Dodgers went into Yankee Stadium Monday night and secured a 4-2 win to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series and put the Yankees on the brink of elimination.
