NEW YORK (AP) — Told he had tied a World Series record by homering in five straight games, Freddie Freeman grinned.
“Let’s hopefully make it six,” he said.
Freeman put Los Angeles ahead 15 pitches into the game with a two-run homer off Clarke Schmidt, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night to take a 3-0 World Series lead.
He matched the mark set when George Springer homered in Games 4 through 7 in 2017 as the Houston Astros beat the Dodgers for the title, then hit another in the 2019 opener against Washington.
