Yankees World Series rematch turning into nightmare

Things are not going well for the Yankees in their World Series rematch against the Dodgers.Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees.

During Saturday’s game, the Yankees got down big quickly, with the Dodgers scoring 10 runs in the first two innings.Will Warren, who started on the mound for New York, went just 1 1/3 innings and gave up seven earned runs, including a three-run homer to Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy in the second inning. Yankees reliever Brent Headrick relieved him and gave up three earned runs in just 2/3 of an inning, with the Dodgers expanding their lead to 10-0 after the first two frames.Outside of an Aaron Judge solo home run in the fourth inning, the Yankees’ offense has thus far remained quiet.Los Angeles added four more in the fifth — three on another Muncy homer — to take a 14-1 lead.The Post’s Greg Joyce noted the Dodger Stadium organist began to play the “Monday Night Football” theme at that point.Of the first four pitchers of the game, Ian Hamilton was the only Yankee to not yield a run over two scoreless frames.This large deficit for the Yankees comes after an 8-5 loss to the Dodgers on Friday, when Max Fried had his worst start of the season, giving up six earned runs in five innings, including two home runs to Shohei Ohtani.“I felt like the guys did a great job tonight, putting up early runs, and for the most part I just didn’t do my job,” Fried said after the start.

“I’m a competitor, I want to go out there and win.So the fact that we had a lead and I gave it up a couple [of] times, it’s not going to sit well with me.

But just got to be able to use it as motivation to go out next time and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”...
