Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees are heading into Game 3 of the World Series with a 0-2 deficit against the Dodgers. Despite holding the lead in Game 2, they couldnât secure a win in Los Angeles, prompting Boone to issue a sort of warning to his players as they approach the next three games.
In his recent comments, Boone stated that no one ever said the World Series would be easy; rather, itâs a long series, and now the Yankees need to make it as long as possible. Notably, three consecutive games will be played in the Bronx.
âNo one says itâs gonna be easy. Itâs a long series, and we need to make it a long series now. We wonât flinch. We just got to keep at it,â the Yankees manager affirmed regarding his teamâs âstrategyâ for the coming games to overcome the 0-2 deficit.
The Yankees lost the first game against the Dodgers 6-3, coming within a few strikes of victory, but were then overpowered in Game 2 by the Dodgersâ pitching, led by Yamamoto.
When Was the Last Time the Yankees Beat the Dodgers at Home?
During the regular season, the Yankees played just one series against the Dodgers (June), dropping the first two games before winning the last. In that series, Aaron Judge hit two home runs in a game that ended 11-3 in favor of the Dodgers.
