### Dodgers Secure 2-0 World Series Lead with Victory Over Yankees

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a commanding 2-0 lead in the World Series on Saturday night with a 4-2 win against the New York Yankees. Strong performances by pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto and a back-to-back home run display by Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez highlighted the game. Yamamoto allowed just one run over 6.1 innings, while Freeman and Hernandez's pivotal homers came in the third inning.

Conversely, Yankees' pitcher Carlos Rodon struggled on the mound, surrendering all four runs in just 3.1 innings. A tough night for slugger Aaron Judge, who struck out three times, added to the Yankees' woes as the series prepares to shift to the Bronx. The Dodgers are now heavily favored (-450) to win the championship, while the Yankees face an uphill battle (+340).
