Shohei Ohtani injury concern overshadows Dodgers domination of Yankees
The Dodgers may have won Game 2, but any celebration waits on bated breath.
Slugger Shohei Ohtani exited with win after left injuring his shoulder on a steal attempt that ended the seventh inning of the 4-2 win.
The injury caused Dodger Stadium to go quiet as he walked off the field with a trainer, holding his arm gingerly.
It was a change from the lively atmosphere that saw a star-studded home crowd give a standing ovation to starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto who allowed one hit over 6 1/3 innings and sending the Bombers back to The Bronx in an 0-2 hole.
Juan Soto mustered the only hit against Yamamoto, who the Yankees heavily courted last offseason, with the slugger making it count as a solo homer in the second inning.
The Yankees didn’t get the same out of Game 2 starter Carlos Rodon, who lasted just 3 1/3 innings before getting the hook — thanks to homers by Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernandez and Freddie Freeman.
Aaron Judge’s struggled continued, with the slugger going 0 for 3 with a pair of strikeouts in the loss. He’s 1 for 8 with five K’s through two World Series games.
The series heads to The Bronx — where Yamamoto blanked the Yankees over seven shutout innings in June — for Games 3 and 4, starting Monday night.
