Freddie Freeman is officially on fire in this World Series, as another home run led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a Game 3 victory, 4-2, over the New York Yankees on Monday night at Yankee Stadium. 

With the win, the Dodgers are now just one more away from their first World Series title since 2020. 

Freeman has now gone yard in five straight World Series games, dating back to his time with the Atlanta Braves during their 2021 championship. He walked it off in Game 1 with his incredible grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning, and he followed it up in Game 2 with a solo shot in that victory.
