Yankees vs. Dodgers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto leads L.A. to 2-0 World Series lead, but everyone holds their breath for Shohei Ohtani

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 2-0 lead int the World Series on Saturday, but were left with the biggest possible question mark as the series heads to New York.

The good for the Dodgers was a 6 1/3-inning start for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who allowed only one hit — a Juan Soto home run — against the New York Yankees, while Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernández and Game 1 hero Freddie Freeman off Yankees starter Carlos Rodón in a 4-2 win.

The bad came in the seventh inning, when superstar Shohei Ohtani sustained a painful-looking shoulder injury while attempting to steal second base.
