Key Insights from the Dodgers’⁢ 4-2 Victory

Here are our key observations from Saturday’s matchup where the Dodgers emerged victorious.

1. Aaron Judge Struggles ‍Continue

It seems almost impossible for the ⁣Yankees to challenge‌ for this World Series title without their All-Star player‍ Aaron Judge finding his rhythm. Over two consecutive days, Yankees’ batters have been rendered ineffective against the formidable pitching duo of Jack Flaherty and Yoshinobu Yamamoto; collectively⁢ they struck out Judge five times across six plate appearances without letting him get on base. Yamamoto looked particularly poised while facing off against a player who’s led baseball with an‍ impressive ‌OPS of‌ 1.159 during regular season play.

Currently hitting just one single out of nine attempts in this ’s birthday”>series, Judge’s postseason numbers tell a bleak story: he’s hitting .150 with six strikeouts,‌ just two home⁣ runs and six RBIs over his ​last forty at-bats. It’s baffling how someone once heralded as one of baseball’s top hitters appears lost at crucial moments.

The Yankees face difficulty admitting that lackluster swings by Judge may stem from irregular game ⁣attendance prior to playoffs – perhaps it has‌ impacted his timing at ​a time when every swing counts distilling down months into series seizing moments; it could be indicative why he showcased respite performance amidst playoff turmoil previously versus Cleveland where hitting achieved seemed beyond comprehension.— Deesha Thosar
