Dodgers Dominate Game 3, Extend World Series Lead

The Los Angeles Dodgers flexed their muscle in Game 3 of the World Series, crushing the New York Yankees 6-1 and extending their series lead to 2-1. The Dodgers' offense exploded, powered by timely hitting and a dominant pitching performance from Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw Shines in a Dominant Performance

Clayton Kershaw was the story of the night, delivering a masterful pitching performance. The veteran lefty tossed seven strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out nine Yankees batters. Kershaw was in complete control throughout the game, showcasing the poise and experience that has made him one of the game's best pitchers.

"Clayton was just outstanding tonight," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. "He had everything working, his fastball had good life, his slider was sharp, and his curveball was nasty."

Dodgers Offense Explodes, Supported by Kershaw

The Dodgers offense provided Kershaw with plenty of run support. They broke through in the second inning when Mookie Betts hit a two-run homer to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers continued their onslaught in the fourth inning, adding three more runs on a series of singles and a sacrifice fly.

"We're just trying to get good pitches to hit," said Betts, who finished the night with two hits and three RBIs. "We know Kershaw is going to keep us in the game, so we just want to give him some cushion."

Yankees Struggle to Find Their Offense

The Yankees offense, which had been so potent in the first two games of the series, struggled mightily against Kershaw. They managed just four hits and one run, failing to capitalize on a couple of scoring opportunities.

The Yankees will need to find their rhythm offensively if they hope to even the series.

"We just didn't make the adjustments we needed to against Kershaw," said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. "He's a great pitcher, but we need to do a better job of making him work."

Looking Ahead

The Dodgers will look to extend their series lead even further in Game 4, while the Yankees will be looking to claw their way back into the series. With both teams looking to make a statement, Game 4 is sure to be a thrilling contest.
