The New York Yankees fell to a 2-0 series deficit with a Game 2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series.

New York struggled offensively during a 4-2 loss on Saturday night.

New York Yankees @yankees

FINAL: Dodgers 4, Yankees 2.

Juan Soto was the only member of the Yankees lineup to record a hit in the first eight innings. Soto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the third frame.

Aaron Judge continued to look shaky at the plate in the postseason, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The New York captain now has just one hit in nine plate appearances during the Fall Classic.

Carlos Rodón started the race for New York and the results were far from encouraging. Rodón allowed six hits and four earned runs in 3.1 innings of work, recording just three strikeouts.

The Yankees had a chance to tie or take the lead in the top of the ninth inning, loading the bases with just one out. However, Anthony Volpe and José Treviño were unable to drive in the game-tying runs.

Fans and pundits were disappointed in Judge and New York’s offense.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan

Aaron Judge struck out for the second time tonight. He is 1 for 8 with five strikeouts in the World Series. This postseason, he is 6 for 39 and hitting .154/.286/.333 with two home runs and six RBIs in 11 games.

I want to mess up in the worst possible way at the end of the night, but… this is getting embarrassing for Aaron Judge.

Bryan Hoch @BryanHoch

Aaron Judge looked at a 2-0 fastball up the middle and then ended up striking out swinging. He is 6 for 39 with 18 Ks this postseason.

MLB Metrics @MLBMetrics

The worst qualified hitter during the regular season (Christopher Morel) hit .196.
Aaron Judge is hitting .154 this postseason.

Max Mannis @maxmannis

My main emotion watching Judge right now is genuine sadness, which is never ideal for late October.

Am I watching Aaron Judge or Aaron Hicks?

After a heartbreaking loss in Game 1 due to a Freddie Freeman grand slam, the Yankees couldn’t take advantage of one last chance to steal Game 2.

They will try to bounce back when the series moves to Yankee Stadium, with Game 3 on Monday.
