Dodgers take 2-0 World Series lead into Game 3 against Yankees

NEW YORK (KABC) -- It's a good day to be a Dodgers fan. Two games into the 2024 World Series, and the team is just two wins away from a title.

After the Dodgers edged the New York Yankees in an unbelievable opener on Friday, they picked up where they left off in a 4-2 Game 2 victory.

The good news is Shohei Ohtani is set to play Monday night despite a partially dislocated left shoulder. He hurt sliding into second base when he was caught stealing to end the seventh inning of Saturday night victory.

What time is the game?

Game 3 is set for Monday at 5:08 p.m. in New York.
