NEW YORK – This World Series has reached a fork in the road for Game 3: Coronation or Contest?

The New York Yankees will look to breathe life back into their season and revive hope that this fall classic will be an all-timer when they send Clarke Schmidt to the mound at Yankee Stadium to face a Los Angeles Dodgers team , which becomes increasingly difficult to defeat with each additional round.

The Dodgers take a 2-0 lead in the Bronx and will hand the baseball to playoff ace Walker Buehler in hopes of securing what will likely be an unassailable lead. Just keep the bullpens ready: Schmidt threw 4 ⅓ innings in each of his playoff games, including one in a Yankee win, while Buehler threw four labored, albeit shutout, innings in Game 3 of the NLCS, capping the six-game series. triumph for the Dodgers.

Buehler is making his 18th career playoff start and has struck out 107 batters in those 88 ⅔ innings. It is also his third start in a World Series Game 3 and the Dodgers won the previous two, including their 18-inning victory over the Boston Red Sox in 2018 after Buehler threw seven shutout innings.

Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani is expected to be back in the lineup after suffering a shoulder subluxation in Game 2 on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Yankees are hoping Aaron Judge can turn around his 1-for-9 performance with six strikeouts in the first two games.

Follow us for live updates from Game 3:

NEW YORK (AP) — Salvador Perez finally returned to the playoffs this year after a nearly decade-long absence. But his influence in Venezuela and Kansas City never really waned.

Perez, a nine-time All-Star catcher for the Royals and likely future Hall of Famer, received the Roberto Clemente Award Monday night in a ceremony at Yankee Stadium before Game 3 of the World Series.

The 34-year-old Perez has already been nominated for baseball's top award for charitable activities off the field. He has provided food and medicine each winter to families in his Venezuelan hometown of Valencia, and has also funded thousands of surgeries for children to repair cleft lips. Perhaps most notably, he supported relief efforts in neighboring Colombia during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, entering the country on foot when traveling by car was banned.

He also donated $1 million to the Royals' youth academy in Kansas City.

“If you pick just one day a month — two or three hours — to have fun,” Perez said Monday night before Game 3, “you make a kid happy, they'll never, ever forget it.” − Gabe Lacques, USA TODAY Sports

NEW YORK – A hit from Jose Trevino may have influenced Aaron Boone's thinking about Game 3.

The Yankees have lost two games to zero in the 120th World Series and have made a lineup change for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Austin Wells is out of the lineup and Trevino is there at catcher while Clarke Schmidt is on the mound in an obviously critical Game 3, the first World Series game in the Bronx in 15 years.

Wells is 1-for-8 with three strikeouts in the series so far, and the left-handed rookie is batting just .098 (4-for-41) with one home run and three RBI this postseason.

Trevino has made only one start so far this postseason, catching Schmidt in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series in Cleveland, which the Yankees lost to the Guardians 7-5 in 10 innings.

Trevino's first at-bat of the World Series ended Game 2 Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. He served as a pinch-hitter for Wells and flew to deep center with the bases loaded in a 4-2 Yankees loss. – Pete Caldera, NorthJersey.com

As the New York Yankees host their first World Series game since 2009, the team will have someone who was part of the last championship team throw out the first pitch.

Derek Jeter, a five-time World Series champion and the Yankees' all-time hits leader, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Yankees face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium on Monday.

The Baseball Hall of Famer spent all 20 seasons of his big league career in the pinstripes, winning his last World Series title with the franchise in 2009 when New York defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. In that series, Jeter went 11 for 27 – a .407 batting average – with one RBI and five runs scored. − Jordan Mendoza, USA TODAY Sports

How to watch World Series Game 3

NEW YORK – A nasty slide and shoulder subluxation won't stop Shohei Ohtani from suiting up for the World Series.

Ohtani will take the lead again in Game 3 on Monday night as the World Series moves to New York, two days after the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar partially dislocated his left shoulder on a stolen base attempt in Game 2.

Ohtani left the stadium immediately after the game, and after a day of diagnostic testing and the expectation that Ohtani would attempt swings off the tee and in a cage, the Dodgers concluded he was ready for Game 3.

Ohtani flew separately from the team on Sunday after undergoing further testing, and manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani would be in the lineup against New York Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt if he could get the pain under control . The team does not believe Ohtani will risk further injury through his play.

Yankee Stadium must be a fortress: “We need our fans more than ever”

NEW YORK – It's been almost 15 years to the day since Shane Victorino rolled a slow ground ball to second baseman Robinson Cano, and before Cano could even complete the throw to the first baseman, a sea of ​​gentlemen in pinstripes streamed out of Yankee Stadium first base dugout to celebrate the team's 27th birthdayTh Championship.

That wasn't what the Yankees wanted, as they were coming off a 2-0 deficit in this World Series, with two disheartening losses in Los Angeles that offered only limited consolation because the Yankees were on a level playing field with the Dodgers – the Needed a walk-off Freddie Freeman grand slam to win Game 1 – only to come up short twice.

Use the home advantage.

“I think we definitely need our fans now more than ever,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “They support us, they pump us up, they put pressure on other teams. The Bronx is a special place. When the stadium rocks, we feel it.

“We need every ounce of their energy coming between now and Monday.”

How will this year's World Series end? Using online simulation Dynasty League Baseball, USA TODAY Sports' Steve Gardner and DLB designer Mike Cieslinski will preview each game to provide insight into the key matchups and strategies fans can expect in the Fall Classic.

With two big innings to start, the Los Angeles Dodgers made quick work of the New York Yankees, earning a 9-5 victory in Game 3 of the annual USA TODAY Sports Simulated World Series.

The Dodgers pounced on Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt with three quick runs in the first and then struck him out for a five-run win in the third to take the series lead 2-1.

The Dodgers wasted no time in striking out Clarke Schmidt, the Yankees' Game 3 starter. Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts started the game with back-to-back singles, but Schmidt appeared to get through the inning unscathed when Freddie Freeman grounded out a double play.

However, Teoscar Hernandez put LA on top with an RBI single and Max Muncy followed with a two-run home run into Yankee Stadium's short porch in right field and the Dodgers were on their way.

The first two Yankees also singled in the bottom of the first, but Aaron Judge singled and Dodger starter Walker Buehler struck out Giancarlo Stanton and Jazz Chisholm to end the threat.

Schmidt fought out of a bases-loaded jam in the second but couldn't survive the third as Tommy Edman doubled on two, Miguel Rojas added an RBI single and Ohtani hit a huge hit to right-center – all by two Outs – to make it 8-0.

The Yanks did score twice in the eighth and got a three-run home run from Gleyber Torres in the ninth, but it wasn't enough.
