In Game 3 of the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers got both a squeeze bunt and a homer from Austin Barnes, the catcher hitting in the No. 9 spot. That’s what kind of night it was Friday for both the Dodgers, who looked champion-like, and the Rays, who looked overmatched.
Barnes is only the second player in MLB history to accomplish that feat. And he proved a point that we’re seeing playing again this postseason: The Dodgers have so many ways to beat you.
In Game 1 of the World Series, it was the Mookie Betts show with Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
