World series game score 3

The Yankees, meanwhile, are back in the World Series for the first time since their 2009 championship season. Aaron Boone’s team disposed of the No. 5 Kansas City Royals in five games before taking down the No. How and where to find a cheap tour 2 Cleveland Guardians in five games for the AL pennant.

Home-field advantage could play a real role in this series: The Dodgers were 52-29 at home compared to just 46-35 on the road, while the Yankees were actually better on the road (50-31) than they were at home (44-37). That said, New York has gone 3-1 so far at Yankee Stadium in this postseason, while the Dodgers have gone 3-2 in their five home games.

“I’ve definitely got to step up, and I’ve got to do my job,” Judge said. “Guys around me are doing their jobs, getting on base, and I’m failing at backing them up. We’ve got to turn it around in Game 3.”

Ohtani suffered a left shoulder subluxation in the seventh inning of the Dodgers’ 4-2 victory in Game 2 on Saturday night when he slid into second on an unsuccessful steal attempt. The injury looked bad, but Ohtani is officially in the lineup for Game 3.

World series game 1

The New York Yankees qualified for the postseason as the American League East division winner and the league’s first seed. In the American League Division Series, they defeated the Kansas City Royals in four games. In the American League Championship Series, they defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games to win their 41st pennant in franchise history and return to the World Series for the first time since their championship season in 2009, putting an end to their 15-year World Series appearance drought.

It was a 62% increase over last year’s first game between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks. The Rangers’ 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks in 11 innings averaged 9.35 million, and was the least-viewed Game 1 on record.

While 2016’s 22.8 million average viewership is unlikely to be exceeded, an average of 15 million viewers would blow away any recent World Series. Last year’s Rangers-Diamondbacks World Series averaged an all-time low 9.1 million viewers per game, and there hasn’t been a World Series to top 12 million in average viewership since 2019. A 15-million average viewership would rank as the third-highest since 2010, which is impressive given TV viewership for anything but football has dwindled dramatically in the past decade-plus thanks to the demise of cable TV and the rise of streaming services and social media.

2001 world series 7 game

Clemens started for the Yankees five days after a seven-inning, three-hit, nine-strikeout performance in Game Three.10 Brenly altered his lineup slightly, using right fielder Danny Bautista instead of Reggie Sanders to “stack the lineup with hitters that have had the most success against Clemens,” saying later that it was one of his toughest decisions as manager.11 Brenly and his staff had noticed that “Sanders was susceptible to the high fastball Clemens loves to tease hitters with.”12

It was a matchup of two 20-game winners in the Series finale. Roger Clemens, at 39 years old, became the oldest Game 7 starter. Curt Schilling had already started two games of the Series and pitched his 300th inning of the season on just three days’ rest. The two aces matched each other inning by inning and after seven full innings, the game was tied at 1–1. The Diamondbacks scored first in the sixth inning with a Steve Finley single and a Danny Bautista double (Bautista, trying to stretch it into a triple, was called out at third base). The Yankees responded with an RBI single from Tino Martinez, which drove in Derek Jeter who had singled earlier. Brenly stayed with Schilling into the eighth, and the move backfired as Alfonso Soriano hit a home run on an 0–2 pitch. After Schilling struck out Scott Brosius, he gave up a single to David Justice, and he left the game trailing 2–1. When Brenly came to the mound to remove Schilling, he was heard on the Sounds of the Game microphone telling his clearly upset pitcher, “love you brother, you’re my hero” and assuring him that “that ain’t gonna beat us, we’re gonna get that back and then some.” He then brought in Game 5 starter Miguel Batista to get Jeter out and then in an unconventional move, brought in the previous night’s starter and winner Randy Johnson, who had thrown 104 pitches, in relief to keep it a one-run game. It proved to be a smart move, as Johnson retired pinch hitter Chuck Knoblauch (who batted for the left handed Paul O’Neill) on a fly out to Bautista in right field, then returned to the mound for the top of the ninth where he got Bernie Williams to fly out to Steve Finley in center field and Martinez to ground out to Tony Womack at shortstop, and then struck out catcher Jorge Posada to send the game to the bottom of the ninth inning.

The Arizona Diamondbacks had joined the National League as an expansion franchise in 1998. They made the playoffs in their second season and returned in 2001. After finishing first in the NL West Division, they beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, in the Division Series. A five-game Championship Series win over the Atlanta Braves made the Diamondbacks the expansion team that reached the World Series the quickest.3

This dvd set is amazing. I went to game two & it brought back the old feelings, the arm hair raised, the memories of that day….everything. I remember where I was in game 7 when Luis Gonzales hit the winning single & jumping up and down & I still get that old feeling watching this dvd. If you are a Diamondback fan this is a MUST have. If you are a baseball fan, this is a MUST have, just to say that you own one of the greatest World Series to EVER be played. JT Las Vegas Proud Dback Fan
