Game 2 world series 2024
• That five-run comeback? It was the largest in a World Series-clinching win, surpassing 1925 Game 7, when the Pirates trailed by four. This was the 120th World Series, so that’s quite the sample size parental advisory explicit content meaning.
That was Stanton’s second home run of the World Series and his seventh of the postseason. He has 18 career postseason home runs, third most in Yankees’ history behind Bernie Williams (22) and Derek Jeter (20). Williams and Jeter both had more than three times as many plate appearances as Stanton. Stanton is, truly, one of the greatest postseason power hitters ever.
An emotional Yankees manager Aaron Boone added: “I’m heartbroken. It doesn’t take away my pride of what that room means to me and what that group forged this year and what we’ve been through to get here. But I’m heartbroken. I’m heartbroken, and I’m heartbroken for those guys that poured so much into this. The ending is cruel. It always is.”
Game 1 world series
Houston — the first team to lose five straight World Series home games since (coincidentally enough) the Braves of 1996-99 (and that streak is still active) — had an early chance to end that unsightly home trend. The Astros loaded the bases against Morton with two out in the first, but Morton got breakout star Kyle Tucker to ground into the inning-ending out.
This game is out of hand early as Kyle Tucker unloads on a 3-2 sinker from Aaron Nola for a three-run home run and 5-0 lead for the Astros in the bottom of the third. John Smoltz made a great point on the broadcast that Nola didn’t seem to want to go back to his changeup since Tucker had homered off it in the second inning. So even though Nola got ahead 0-2, he stuck with fastballs and curveballs. Tucker locked in on the fastball and crushed it at 105.3 mph and 395 feet to right-center, becoming the first Astros player with a multi-homer game in the World Series. We have plenty of time left to see if Tucker can match Babe Ruth (twice), Reggie Jackson, Albert Pujols and Pablo Sandoval with a three-homer World Series game. — Schoenfield
“It was just the emotion of the situation, being the starter for Game 1 of the World Series, being the starter for the Astros in the World Series,” Valdez said through an interpreter. “I think it was that more than anything else. It was maybe trying to do a bit too much, throwing a bit too hard.”
Flaherty got Stanton to swing over top of a curveball in a similar spot earlier in the at-bat. He tried it again, but left that one up just enough, and Stanton golfed it out. It is sort of remarkable how Stanton will look silly on a pitch, get it again, then hit out of the ballpark. He’s on everything right now. Make a mistake, and it’s in the seats.
11:33 p.m. — Edman singles after Oswaldo Cabrera can’t make the full diving stop on a ground ball. Of course, Shohei Ohtani will get a chance at the plate with the game on the line in Game 1 of the World Series. Nestor Cortes will come in to face him. Grab your popcorn.
Game 2 world series 2024
First, Mookie Betts ripped a single to left. Then, Hernández, who came to L.A. as one of the lesser-publicized signings in the Dodgers’ $1.2 billion winter and turned in an All-Star campaign, smoked a 98 mph four-seamer up in the zone into the right-field pavilion seats for an impressive two-run blast that made it 3-1.
That was the lead put in the clearly capable hands of Yamamoto, who had spurned the interested Yankees and one-upped their ace Gerrit Cole when he signed a 12-year, $325 million contract to join the Dodgers last winter. This was a night when Yamamoto showed the broad baseball world — including an ample audience in his native Japan — what all the fuss was about, confounding a dangerous lineup by allowing only the Soto swat and two walks and keeping the pressure off the oft-used L.A. bullpen by pitching into the seventh.

“You can’t give a good team like that extra outs,” Judge said. “It starts with me there in the line drive coming in, misplay that. So that doesn’t happen then I think we got a different story tonight.”

Back in 1988, the Dodgers rode that famous Kirk Gibson walk-off in Game 1 to a convincing 6-0 victory in Game 2, en route to a five-game Series win – still their most recent in a full season. Will history repeat itself, or will the Yankees respond?
