The New York Yankees fell into 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 defeat on Saturday night.

Juan Soto was the only member of the Yankees' lineup to record a hit through 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. New York's captain now has just one hit in nine plate appearances during the Fall Classic.

Carlos Rodón started the contest 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 only one out. Anthony Volpe and Jose Trevino were unable to drive in the game-tying runs, though.

Fans and pundits were disappointed with Judge as well as New York's offense.

After a heartbreaking Game 1 loss due to a walk-off grand slam from Freddie Freeman, the Yankees couldn't capitalize on a late opportunity to steal Game 2.

They'll attempt to bounce back as the series shifts to Yankee Stadium, with Game 3 on Monday.
