Bahamian Major League Baseball (MLB) pro Jasrado “Jazz” Chisholm Jr and the New York Yankees are in a tough spot after falling into an 0-2 hole in weekend action. 

The Bronx Bombers fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday night.

In the first game of the series, the Yankees were dealt a devastating 6-3 loss in a close finish. 

“Jazz” went 1-for-4 with a single in game two. He was involved in all the action in the opening game. 

Chisholm Jr went 2-for-5 with two singles while tying the record for the most stolen bases in a World Series with three.

The Yankees were in position to try and pull off their first win of the series with the score tied at 2-2 at the bottom of the eighth inning in game one. 

The LA Dodgers took charge in historic fashion in the 10th inning. 

New York were ahead with a 3-2 lead at the top of the final inning until Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman made World Series history with a walk-off grand slam.

After the LA Dodgers took the classic World Series opener in thrilling fashion, the Yankees tried to bounce back on Saturday night.

The Yankees knotted the score at 1-1 at the top of the third inning when Juan Soto homered a pitch sent by Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 

The Dodgers pitcher then retired the last 11 batters and the Yankees were held to just one hit before the start of the ninth inning. 

The Dodgers then piled on the runs at the bottom of the third inning. Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez also went yard in the game.

New York trailed 4-1 until Giancarlo Stanton singled to the left in the ninth inning and Soto scored a run. 

Despite getting the win, the Dodgers faced some adversity in the seventh inning, Shohei Otani partially dislocated his shoulder while sliding to second base in game two. He is expected to play in game three tonight but it remains unclear if he will be at 100 per cent. 

With the LA Dodgers ahead 2-0 in the series, “Jazz” and the Bronx Bombers will be in a must-win situation tonight at the Yankee Stadium.

For Chisholm Jr, this is his first appearance in the World Series. He is also the second Bahamian since the late Ed Armbrister to play on this stage.

He is batting .186 with 8 hits, a homer, an RBI and three runs scored in 11 games with the Yanks this postseason.

His World Series campaign continues tonight at 8:08pm in the Yankee Stadium.
