  Graterol leaves with 2 on and 2 out in the 6th

  Brusdar Graterol didn’t last long. He got two outs but walked Juan Soto and allowed a single to Giancarlo Stanton to put men on first and second. Alex Vesia will take the mound to face Jazz Chisholm Jr. with two on and two out.

  Will Dave Roberts regret his decision to pull Walker Buehler after 76 pitches?

  Yankees on the brink

  The Yankees have played sloppy baseball throughout the postseason, and on the biggest stage, they once again lack the ability to execute cleanly.

  The passed balls, bad baserunning and defensive miscues are piling up, and New York is looking like an all-around lifeless team that is in danger of being swept.

  Kiké Hernández delivers again, extends Dodgers’ lead to 4-0

  Postseason Kiké Hernández is a thing. The Dodgers outfielder sent a one-out base hit into center field and scored Gavin Lux from second in the sixth inning. Lux had reached on a hit-by-pitch and stole second to get into scoring position.

  Hernández got caught stealing to end the inning but not before extending the Dodgers’ lead to 4-0 with some more timely hitting.

  Walker Buehler continues to deal

  After allowing the first Yankees hits in the fourth, Walker Buehler pitched a 1-2-3 fifth inning to keep New York off the scoreboard. Through five innings, he has allowed two hits and walked two with five strikeouts to keep the Yankees off the board.

  The Dodgers lead 3-0 heading into the sixth.

  Cortes pitches scoreless 5th

  Freddie Freeman reached on an error to lead off the top of the fifth inning, but Nestor Cortes induced a lineout and a double play to end the inning with no damage. The Dodgers maintain a 3-0 lead in the middle of the fifth.

  Teoscar Hernandez throws out Giancarlo Stanton at home to end 4th

  The Yankees came up short on their best chance yet to get on the scoreboard, thanks to a great defensive play from Teoscar Hernandez. Giancarlo Stanton reached on a one-out double for the first Yankees hit of the night, then looked to leg out a run on a two-out single by Anthony Volpe into shallow left field.

  But Hernandez mowed down a very slow Stanton with a perfect throw to the plate to end the inning.

  Cortes gets redemption

  Big-time redemption for Nestor Cortes Jr. after his unfortunate two-pitch outing in Game 1 ended with Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam.

  The lefty entered and struck out Shohei Ohtani and got Mookie Betts to fly out to strand two Dodgers baserunners and perhaps capture some momentum for the Yankees heading to the bottom of the fourth.

  Dodgers come up empty in 4th

  The Dodgers had runners on first and third with no outs in the fourth but didn’t score. The failed squeeze on the borderline call at home secured the first out. Yankees reliever Nestor Cortes then took over on the mound and struck out Shohei Ohtani and induced a lineout from Mookie Betts to end the inning.

  Lux looked safe

  Here’s the replay look. Lux looks safe:

  Dodgers’ squeeze play fails on borderline call at home

  The Dodgers gambled with a no-out squeeze in the fourth inning and lost. Gavin Lux ran home from third on a Tommy Edman bunt. The home plate umpire called him out at home as he slid headfirst. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts challenged the play.

  Replay appeared to showed that Lux touched home plate just before Yankees catcher Jose Trevino placed the tag. But replay officials didn’t agree — or didn’t see enough to overturn the call on the field. Lux is out, and the Dodgers have runners on first and second with one out.

  Yankees hitless after 3

  Gleyber Torres walked with two outs in the third. But Juan Soto grounded out to first to end the inning, and Walker Buehler has yet to allow a hit. Buehler added two strikeouts to raise his tally through three innings to five.

  The Dodgers hold a 3-0 lead after three innings.

  Yankees’ bullpen under pressure now

  Clarke Schmidt exited with the bases loaded after recording only eight outs.

  The Yankees’ bullpen was quietly excellent in a losing effort after Carlos Rodón in Game 2, but now they’ll have to cover more than six innings effectively if the Yankees want to stick around in this game.

  Mark Leiter Jr. gets out of bases-loaded jam

  Mark Leiter Jr. inherited a bases-loaded jam with two outs and got out of it. The Yankees reliever pitched Will Smith to a 3-1 count, but ultimately induced an inning-ending groundout on a full count to limit the Dodgers damage to one run in the third inning.

  The Dodgers hold a 3-0 lead in the middle of the third. The Yankees will look for their first baserunner in the bottom of the inning.

  Clarke Schmidt is done with bases loaded

  Clarke Schmidt’s night is done. After allowing an RBI single to Mookie Betts, the Yankees starter walked Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy to load the bases.

  The Yankees go to reliever Mark Leiter Jr. with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the third inning while facing a 3-0 deficit.

  Mookie Betts blooper extends Dodgers’ lead

  Mookie Betts dropped a ball into shallow right field that Juan Soto couldn’t catch up to, and Tommy Edman scored from second base to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0 with one out in the third inning.

  Shohei Ohtani swings

  After walking on four pitches in his first at-bat, Shohei Ohtani took his first swing since injuring his left shoulder in Game 2. He swung and missed at a 2-0 knuckle curve inside, then grounded out to advance Tommy Edman to second base with no outs in the third inning.

  After the swings, he grasped his jersey collar with his left hand as he has done throughout the night but otherwise looked no worse for wear.
