NEW YORK – Rapper Fat Joe sang before Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night at Yankee Stadium.

The fat lady might be next.

The Dodgers hit a two-run home run off Freddie Freeman in the primary inning and never looked back. With a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees, they moved inside one game of their first full-season championship since 1988.

Starting with Freeman's walk-off grand slam within the tenth inning of Game 1, the Dodgers have outscored the Yankees 12-4 in the primary three games of this series. They will fight for the championship – and their first World Series win since 2012 (San Francisco Giants vs. Detroit Tigers) – in Game 4 on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. It can be only the second victory within the 12 World Series meetings between these two rivals (the Dodgers also did it in 1963).

Shohei Ohtani has replaced Freeman because the injured Dodger continues to play heroically. Ohtani got here to pregame introductions wearing a brace or heating pad on his injured left shoulder under his jacket and holding his left arm near his body as he ran the bases. He went 0 for 3 but reached base twice – on a walk and when he was hit within the foot by a pitch.

Freeman now appears to have recovered from the ankle sprain that affected him a lot in the primary two rounds of the postseason. He converted an inside cutter from Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt in the primary inning Monday night and placed it in the correct field pitches for a two-run home run.

Freeman also hit a house run within the third inning of Game 2, becoming only the third player to hit a house run in each of the primary three games of a World Series (Barry Bonds in 2002, Hank Bauer in 1958). Freeman also hit a house run for the Atlanta Braves in Games 5 and 6 of the 2021 World Series, giving him a record five consecutive World Series appearances. George Springer also did it for the Houston Astros within the 2017 and 2019 World Series.

In what could also be his final game in a Dodgers uniform — he will likely be a free agent this winter — Walker Buehler remembered his own story. Pitching just like the Buehler of old, he held the Yankees scoreless for five innings, allowing just two hits and two walks.

The regular season's 5.38 ERA was irrelevant within the postseason. Buehler allowed six runs within the second inning of Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres – after which gave the Dodgers 12 consecutive scoreless innings the remainder of the postseason. He has allowed one run in his 18 profession World Series innings.

That six-run inning within the NLDS was fueled by poor defense — in order that they owed him one. The only time Buehler got into trouble against the Yankees, the defense tightened up around him.

Giancarlo Stanton doubled with one out within the fourth inning (Buehler's first hit). Mookie Betts made a diving catch for the second time on Jazz Chisholm's sinking liner before Anthony Volpe dropped a single into left field. Teoscar Hernandez threw and leapt fired a 93.9 mph bullet (his fastest throw of the season in keeping with Statcast) to catch Will Smith, who struck out Stanton and kept the Yankees scoreless.

After Freeman's power burst, the Dodgers took more pedestrian routes to attain single runs within the third and sixth.

In the third, Tommy Edman drew a leadoff walk, took second on Ohtani's ground out and raced home on Betts' bloop single to right field. In the sixth, Gavin Lux was hit by a pitch, stole second and narrowly beat the throw to attain on Kiké Hernandez's single to center field.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts all the time made Tuesday's pitching plan in mind when making bullpen decisions – and continued to make the correct decisions like he has this postseason run.

But he needed to endure scares within the sixth and seventh innings. Most dangerously, the Yankees put two runners on with two outs within the seventh. With Juan Soto on deck, Anthony Banda struck out Gleyber Torres when home plate umpire Mark Carlson called a 2-and-2 fastball clear over the zone strike three.

The Dodgers were only one out away from their fifth shutout of the postseason (which might tie Cleveland's postseason record set in 2016) when Alex Verdugo hit a two-run home run off Michael Kopech.

Red Sox

BOSTON (AP) — Cedric Mullins hit two home runs and scored three runs, Albert Suárez allowed one run and had a personal-high eight strikeouts in six innings, and the Baltimore Orioles held off the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.

Adley Rutschman hit a two-run single for the Orioles, who earned just their second win in six games and are actually attempting to catch the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida each had an RBI double for Boston, which has lost seven of its last 11 games in its battle with Minnesota for the third wild-card spot within the AL.

Boston's Tyler O'Neill hit 0 Fox 3 with three strikeouts after hitting two home runs in a win on Monday.

Gunnar Henderson was on first base after a walk within the third inning, but Mullins hit a cutter by Kutter Crawford (8-14) deep into the right-field seats to make it 3-0. It was his fifth profession multi-home run game, the last being on June 19, 2021 against Toronto.

After his second-worst start of the season last Wednesday, when he allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings against the White Sox, the 34-year-old Suárez (8-5) allowed 4 hits and two walks.

Seranthony Domínguez made the ultimate three outs for his tenth save.

Casas' double against the Green Monster cut the rating to 3-1 within the fourth inning. It was Boston's first run against Suárez this season after holding her scoreless through six innings at Camden Yards on August 18.

Yoshida hit a double against Yennier Cano within the eighth inning and Cano prevented a run, making the rating 5-3.

Crawford lost his fifth straight start, allowing three runs and 7 hits in 6 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and one walk. In the five starts, the Red Sox scored two runs when he was in the sport.

Mullins' first home run flew across the Pesky Pole in the primary inning. Right fielder Wilyer Abreu looked to have a simple time catching the ball because it headed toward the wall, but he just kept drifting until the ball finally landed within the seats. Estimated hit of just 334 feet.

Abreu made a pleasant running catch to finish the inning before happening within the sixth inning.

TRAINING ROOM

Orioles: INF Jordan Westburg (broken right hand) thought he could start batting practice “soon.” Before the sport, he said within the locker room: “I'm happy with the progress. In the last few days, I feel like I've made a little leap forward in terms of strength. I can grip some weights better now.”

Red Sox: Casas was back within the lineup after manager Alex Cora benched the left-hander in favor of a left-handed starting pitcher.

The Giants won two of three games against the Dodgers at home. They won two of three games against the Braves in Atlanta. On Sunday they’d the chance to win two of three games against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Considering that San Francisco has hovered below .500 for many of this season, three consecutive series wins against three playoff teams would have been invaluable for the team to shut out the primary half.

Instead, a potentially great road trip becomes just a very good trip.

Despite taking an early lead, Sean Hjelle allowed a game-winning three-run home run by Bo Naylor within the sixth inning that sent the Giants down 4-5 to the Guardians at Progressive Field and missed the possibility to win a series against considered one of the American League's best teams.

The Giants (44-47) took control early. Michael Conforto hit a 440-foot, two-run home run within the second inning, the longest home run of his time with San Francisco. In the third inning, Heliot Ramos singled home Nick Ahmed to provide rookie Hayden Birdsong a 3-0 lead in his third profession start.

The Guardians (56-32) then proved why they’re among the finest teams in baseball. Cleveland scored two runs against Birdsong within the fourth – the primary on an RBI single by Josh Naylor, the second on an RBI double by Daniel Schneemann.

Birdsong finished the inning on his own terms despite throwing 23 pitches, but his afternoon ended with two outs within the fifth inning after allowing two runners to succeed in base. Hjelle escaped the precarious situation by striking out José Ramírez and protecting San Francisco's 3-2 lead. Birdsong thus reached a final line of two earned runs in 4 2/3 innings with five strikeouts. In the next inning, Hjelle again fell one strike in need of protecting his team's one-run lead.

After two quick outs, Andrés Giménez and Tyler Freeman hit back-to-back singles. Bo Naylor got here off the bench to pinch hit for Austin Hedges, but Hjelle was about to send him right back to the dugout, taking a 2-0 lead. Naylor did indeed return to the dugout shortly afterward, but not in the way Hjelle had hoped.

The younger Naylor brother threw two pitches, then took two balls to tie the rating at 2-2. On the seventh pitch of the at-bat, Naylor sent Hjelle's middle-in sinker into the right-field stands, turning San Francisco's one-run lead right into a two-run deficit. Those two runs were good enough for the Guardians' bullpen, a unit that entered the sport with a league-best 2.59 ERA.

San Francisco made things exciting within the ninth inning against closer Emmanuel Clase. Matt Chapman hit a double with one out, reached third base on a scarcity of defense, and scored on Conforto's groundout. Luis Matos hit a grounder with two outs that would have ended the sport, but reached base because third baseman Angel Martínez made a throwing error. But Clase got Brett Wisely to groundout, ending the sport and the series.

OAKLAND – For JP Sears, this was a day to forget in every respect.

Sears allowed eight earned runs in 1 1/3 innings, probably the most of his profession, and made the shortest start of his profession because the A's were beaten 10-2 by the Twins on the Coliseum on Saturday.

The left-hander lacked control and feel with the primary batter, allowing two singles and striking out two batters in the primary inning. Despite allowing 4 baserunners in the primary inning of the sport, Sears allowed only one run to start out his afternoon. The second inning, nevertheless, wouldn’t be so kind.

Sears' second inning went like this: double, hit by pitch, three-run home run, single, single, two-run double, fly out, single, RBI double. When Sears got here off, the A's trailed 7-1. That deficit widened to 8-1 when long reliever Osvaldo Bido allowed a run to a baserunner he took on.

Sears has had a rocky start this season – he allowed seven earned runs on April 27 – but Saturday's performance was particularly atypical considering Sears is Oakland's workhorse.

Although Sears recorded only 4 outs, he still leads the A's by a large margin in innings pitched (84). The only other A's starter to have thrown 60 innings in any respect is Mitch Spence (63). Coming into the sport, Sears pitched no less than 4 innings in all but one among his starts this season.

With Sears recording just 4 outs, Bido helped rescue Oakland's bullpen by getting length out of the bullpen, throwing five innings with two runs and 6 strikeouts. Bido's 106 pitches were a profession high, the primary time he had broken the 100 mark in a serious league game.

While Sears had the worst start of his profession, Minnesota's Bailey Ober had arguably his best. Despite allowing two solo home runs to JJ Bleday and Tyler Soderstrom, Ober pitched the primary complete game of his profession, needing just 89 Pitches to do that.

Armando Alvarez, who had just been called as much as the team for the primary time, made his major league debut, coming on as a defensive reliever within the eighth inning. In his first profession at-bat, Alvarez was sent to the bottom after a check swing.

Red Sox

BOSTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a house run on the primary pitch of the sport, then hit a solo home run within the fifth inning and Zack Wheeler picked up his eighth straight win to steer the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Wheeler (8-3) hasn't lost in 10 starts since April 14. He allowed one run on three hits in seven innings, had 4 strikeouts and one walk, helping Philadelphia move a season-high 10 games ahead of the six-time defending NL East champion Atlanta Braves.

The Phillies pitchers retired 14 batters in a row before David Hamilton hit a single with one out within the ninth inning, but José Alvarado retired the subsequent two batters for his twelfth save.

Bryson Stott also had two hits for the Phillies, who scored a few unearned runs when Boston first baseman Dominic Smith dropped a simple toss that ought to have ended the fourth inning.

It was Philadelphia's first game back within the U.S. after splitting the two-game London Series with the New York Mets last weekend. The Phillies flew on to Boston on Sunday, arriving just after midnight, and had Monday off to re-acclimatize.

Schwarber was able to go.

The designated hitter, a member of the 2021 Red Sox team that competed within the AL Championship Series, hit the primary pitch from Kutter Crawford (2-6) an estimated 444 feet to right-center field. It was the thirty seventh leadoff home run of Schwarber's profession and his sixth of the season.

After his strikeout within the third inning, Schwarber led off the fifth inning and sent a 1-0 pitch 427 feet to right to make it 4-1.

Crawford allowed 4 runs on six hits, two of them earned, and had eight strikeouts and one walk in six innings.

With the rating tied 1-1, two outs within the fourth inning and runners on second and third base, David Dahl hit a ball to the fitting side of the infield with the butt of his bat. Red Sox second baseman Enmanuel Valdéz caught the ball and gently tossed it to first base, but Smith let the ball bounce off the sting of his glove.

Bryce Harper, who began with a walk, scored easily, and Stott ran home without throwing. Garrett Stubbs brought Dahl to 3rd base with a single before Crawford brought Johan Rojas in with a groundout to finish the inning.

Red Sox center fielder Rob Refsnyder also made a mistake when he misplayed Stott's single within the second inning, giving him an additional base. But Crawford retired the subsequent three batters to finish the inning.

TRAINING ROOM

Phillies: Three-time All-Star catcher JT Realmuto was placed on the 10-day injured list and said he’ll need a couple of month to recuperate from surgery on the cartilage in his right knee. Stubbs began at catcher within the series opener and the Phillies recalled catcher Rafael Marchán from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Realmuto's spot on the roster.

Red Sox: Outfielder Masataka Yoshida was back within the lineup for the primary time since April 28, when he jammed his right thumb. 1B/OF Garrett Cooper was designated for rotation to make room on the roster.

Boston's RHP Nick Pivetta (3-4) faces Phillies LHP Christopher Sanchez (3-3) within the second game of the three-game series.

Italian Fiat automobiles have an extended history, dating back to the primary Fiat 4 HP in 1899.

Giovanni Agnelli was one among the founding members of the Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino, which became known by the acronym FIAT (later stylized as “Fiat”), and which Agnelli headed until his death in 1945. Fiat is Italy's largest automobile manufacturer, and for twenty years until the late Nineteen Eighties it was also Europe's largest automobile manufacturer and the third largest on the earth after General Motors and Ford.

During World War I, Fiat manufactured airplanes, engines, machine guns, trucks and ambulances for the Allies. During World War II, until Mussolini's fall in 1943, Fiat manufactured similar equipment for the Axis powers. In the Nineteen Fifties, Fiat returned to the U.S. market, offering cars like the unique Fiat 500, which were subcompacts by American standards, but in addition very cute and sporty models just like the Fiat 124 Sport Spider.

Sales were good, accounting for nearly 60% of total production, but Fiat's quality has a slightly dubious repute on this country because of rust and reliability. American automobile enthusiasts used to joke that Fiat stood for “Fix It Again, Tony,” so I used to be surprised to learn that Fiat won many international awards for its vehicles, including nine European Car of the Year awards, greater than some other manufacturer, and that it was rated as having the bottom CO2 emissions of any vehicle sold in Europe.

The featured vehicle on this issue is a 1961 Fiat 500 F owned by Angelo Dalo, a real Italian. You wouldn't imagine it if you see the automobile, but Dalo said the model was sold in Italy as a five-seater (the back seat would must be for 3 fairly young children). He owns two Italian restaurants, Agrodolce in Berkeley (agrodolceberkeley.com) and the newly opened Isola Osteria (isolaosteria.com) in downtown Danville.

Dalo says he paid $10,000 for this little Fiat a few 12 months ago to advertise his business, but in addition to make use of it as a trolley for the restaurants in Danville. Dalo, who was born and raised in Sicily, said this was the form of automobile he learned to drive in, and while we don't see many Fiats like this one here, they're all over the place in Italy. After all, Fiat has sold more cars in Italy than anyone else, in some years greater than 80% of the market.

“It's a 395cc (cubic centimeter) two-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual transmission, and it's all original,” Dalo said. “It was repainted about eight years ago, and the red vinyl interior is brand new.”

His only remaining project is replacing the leaking head gasket – otherwise the automobile is ideal. Dalo is a automobile collector and dealer who has owned about 30 classic cars over his lifetime, but says he definitely prefers Fiats.

“I have five or six of them. One is always being sold and one is always being bought,” he said. “They are tiny, so they are easy to store. They are not worth much, so if they break it is not a big problem.”

There is a big US military base in Sicily and a few US soldiers buy Fiats there and send them home on military ships after their service. Interestingly, the historical lack of success Fiats have had on this country makes them a more priceless collector's automobile today.

The automobile in front of Dalo's restaurant in Berkeley was brought back from Sicily. It was the primary automobile his 80-year-old mother got when she was 14. There are still a whole lot of Fiats in Italy and Sicily, but Dalo says you may now buy these cars more cheaply within the United States.
