Watch: Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman deliver back-to-back HRs in World Series Game 2

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Oct 26, 2024 9:26 PM ET

The baseball was flying out of Dodger Stadium early in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night.

After Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Tommy Edman and New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto exchanged solo home runs to tie the game going into the bottom of the third inning, the Dodgers put together a two-out rally that featured back-to-back home runs.

The first home run in the inning came from outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, hitting a two-run home run off Yankees starter Carlos Rodon to score Mookie Betts.

That set the stage for Game 1 hero Freddie Freeman to also homer off of Rodon in the very next at-bat, sending a 3-2 pitch into right field.

Freeman ended Game 1 with the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history and continued his surge here in Game 2 with his second home run in as many games.

Freeman is one of three MVPs at the top of the Dodgers lineup (joining Shohei Ohtani and Betts) and he is playing like one so far in the World Series. It is even more impressive when you consider he is dealing with an ankle injury and is not quite 100% at the moment.
