Walker Buehler allowed his third hit of the game in the sixth, but he also struck out the side, bringing his total to 10. He’s at 93 pitches, so his night could be done, but with the Dodgers leading 6-1, he’s in excellent position to pick up his second win of these playoffs.

Austin Barnes’s solo home run gives Dodgers a 6-1 lead in the sixth

By Scott Allen

The Dodgers got the run they gave up in the fifth back in the sixth on a two-out solo home run by Austin Barnes. Yes, the same Austin Barnes who drove in a run in the fourth inning with a sacrifice bunt. Mookie Betts followed with a single and his fourth stolen base of the series before Corey Seager walked. Justin Turner flied out to center to end the frame.

Before the inning, players emerged from their dugouts and fans in the crowd stood for the annual “Stand Up to Cancer” moment.

By Scott Allen

With one out in the fifth inning, Manuel Margot ripped a double down the left field line for the Rays’ first hit of the night against Walker Buehler. After Buehler struck out Joey Wendle for the second out of the inning, Willy Adames hit another double on an 0-2 pitch into the left field corner to score Margot and cut the Dodgers’ lead to 5-1. Buehler avoided further trouble by getting Kevin Kiermaier to ground out to first base.

Trailing 5-0 in the fifth inning, Rays go to the bullpen

By Scott Allen

After striking out Justin Turner to lead off the top of the fifth, Rays starter Charlie Morton walked Max Muncy and was relieved by John Curtiss. Morton exited after 91 pitches with his team trailing 5-0. Curtiss retired Will Smith and Cody Bellinger to keep it that way.

What’s at stake in Game 3? Of the previous 59 instances that the World Series was tied 1-1, the Game 3 winner went on to win the title 38 times (64.4 percent).

Rays get first baserunner, still trail 3-0 after three innings

By Scott Allen

A one-out walk by Kevin Kiermaier in the third inning gave the Rays their first baserunner of the game against Walker Buehler. Third baseman Justin Turner got the Dodgers out of the inning by making an excellent play on a hot shot by the next batter, Mike Zunino, and starting a 5-4-3 double play. Buehler is at 38 pitches.

Dodgers extend lead to 3-0 in the third on a two-out single by Max Muncy

By Scott Allen

With two outs and nobody on in the top of the third, Rays starter Charlie Morton ran into trouble. He hit Corey Seager in the foot before allowing a double to left by Justin Turner, who homered in the first, and then gave up a two-run single to Max Muncy on a 3-2 slider that caught too much of the plate.

The Dodgers’ 48 runs with two outs in these playoffs are the most by any team in a single postseason. (This is the first year with a 16-team playoff field and a best-of-three first round, but the point stands: the Dodgers have been clutch.)

Justin Turner gives the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the first inning with solo home run

By Scott Allen

Justin Turner gave the Dodgers the early lead with a two-out solo home run in the first inning off Charlie Morton, who had allowed one earned run in his three postseason starts this year combined.

Turner’s homer overshadowed a nice pick at first base by Tampa Bay’s Ji-Man Choi, who did the splits to come up with shortstop Willy Adames’s one-hopped throw to retire Mookie Betts for the first out of the game.

The retractable roof at Globe Life Field will be closed for Game 3

By Scott Allen

With temperatures expected to dip into the 40s and a slight possibility of rain, the retractable roof at Globe Life Field will be closed for Game 3 after being open for Games 1 and 2. MLB said it consulted with medical advisers before making the decision and that the closed roof will “provide the best competitive environment for players and the most comfort for fans without jeopardizing their safety in any way.”

MLB is allowing 11,500 fans to attend each World Series game. Fans are required to wear masks except when eating or drinking, though enforcement of that rule, judging by the crowd shots on the TV broadcast, has been lax.
