⁍ Justin Turner and Austin Barnes both hit home runs for the Dodgers.
– The Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back from their Game 2 loss with a 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series. The favored Dodgers wasted no time getting on the board when third baseman Justin Turner rifled a solo home run over the left field fence in the first inning, per Reuters. The Dodgers, playing as the ‘away’ team for the first time in a series being held at Globe Life Field in Texas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scored two more runs when Max Muncy singled in the third to push the lead to 3-0. The Dodgers plated another run in the fourth on a sacrifice bunt by Austin Barnes before Mookie Betts brought Joc Pederson home on a single to center for 5-0. Buehler was sharp from the outset and took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a double to Manuel Margot, who scored on a double by Willy Adames for 5-1. But the Dodgers got the run back in the sixth on a solo shot by catcher Barnes, who also anchored an outstanding defensive effort by the team. One bright spot for the Rays was a home run in the bottom of the ninth by rookie Randy Arozarena, who had just one hit in the first two games. With his two-out blast to left, the 25-year-old rookie from Cuba tied the all-time postseason home run record at eight.
