2020 World Series Game 3 will be Friday night, and records by 2 Yankees legends have already been matched in the first two games. Here's what happened, and here's how to watch Game 3.
Don't go thinking that the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers would be a yawner of a World Series. Even in a pandemic-shortened season, historic records are still getting breached.The Fall Classic is tied at 1-1, and here are two big records that have been tied so far :Mookie Betts of the Dodgers became only the second player in World Series history to reach base by a walk, and then steal two bases in the same inning of a World Series game.
Mookie Betts #50 of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Willy Adames #1 of the Tampa Bay Rays react during the fifth inning in Game Two of the 2020 MLB World Series at Globe Life Field on October 21, 2020 in Arlington, Texas.Here's what Betts did in Game 1 on Tuesday this week. Rays starter Tyler Glasnow walked Betts to kick off the fifth inning. Betts stole second base, and then third, to help ignite the Dodgers' four-run spurt to pull away for the win.
However, the fifth inning wasn't the only base-running mark hit by the Dodgers in Game 1. When Betts stole third base that inning, teammate Corey Seager swiped second base on a double steal. That marked the first time since 1912 that three bases had been stolen by one team in the same inning, matching the New York Giants.
Betts wasn't done scribbling his name in the record books at that point. In the sixth inning, he hit a home run to become the only other player to hit a homer and steal two bases in a World Series Game since Chase Utley did it for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008. It was also Game 1. And it was also against Tampa Bay.
