The Los Angeles Dodgers took a decisive step toward a potential World Series title with a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 3, securing a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Behind a strong performance from Walker Buehler, the Dodgers now stand one game away from their first championship since 2020.

Looking Ahead: Game 4 and Potential Sweep
The Dodgers will have their first chance to clinch the World Series title in Game 4, scheduled for tomorrow.
