The Dodgers scored five two-out runs Friday and beat the Rays 6-2 in Game 3 of the World Series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Los Angeles leads the best-of-seven series, two games to one.
Dodgers starter Walker Buehler allowed just one run on three hits and a walk on 98 pitches over six innings, striking out 10. The Rays went without a hit until Manuel Margot doubled down the leftfield line with one out in the fifth.
Los Angeles' 50 two-out runs this postseason are the most of any team in the wild-card era (since 1999).
With two outs in the first inning, Justin Turner hit a 95 mph fastball from Charlie Morton 397 feet over the leftfield fence.
The Dodgers added two more runs with two out in the third.
After striking out the first two batters in the inning, Morton hit Corey Seager with a pitch. Turner doubled into the leftfield corner, moving Seager to third. Both runners scored on Max Muncy’s single to center.
The Dodgers tacked on two more runs in the fourth.
Cody Bellinger singled to center and moved to third on Joc Pederson’s single down the rightfield line. He scored on Austin Barnes' sacrifice bunt to first baseman Ji-Man Choi. Mookie Betts' single to center drove home Pederson with yet another two-out run.
The Rays finally got on the board in the fifth, thanks to back-to-back doubles from Margot and Willy Adames.
Barnes got the run right back for the Dodgers, homering to left-centerfield off John Curtiss in the sixth — you guessed it, with two outs.
The Rays' Randy Arozarena homered with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to make it 6-2. With eight, Arozarena tied a record for most home runs in a single postseason.
Morton struck out six while allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk on 93 pitches over 4-1/3 innings.

Your pregame scouting report
/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/DDGP3UNW65G7PGSHTZL2ROQAVU.JPG "Globe Life Field is seen during the opening pitch of Game 3.")
So, how do you like the Rays' chances in Game 4?
Yes, they have to get through Game 3 first. But that’s what Charlie Morton is for.
Morton is 5-0 with a 0.70 earned-run average in the postseason since joining the Rays last season. Just six days ago, he helped Tampa Bay into the World Series by pitching five-plus scoreless innings in a Game 7 win over the Astros.
So, he’s got this, right?
Obviously, it’s not that easy. The Dodgers hit the ball as well or better than any team the Rays have seen in the playoffs. They’ve got their own ace on the mound in Walker Buehler. And nobody is infallible.
Still, if you need a pitcher to win a big game for you, there aren’t many better than Morton.
Need more to feel good about?
The Rays’ defense, led by three-time Gold Glove winner Kevin Kiermaier, has been outstanding throughout the postseason.
Second baseman Brandon Lowe couldn’t have picked a better time for his bat to come alive, hitting two home runs in a 6-4 win in Game 2.
And Tampa Bay has been able to shorten games by using its top relievers in high-leverage situations, no matter when they might come along.
There will be another element in play tonight. Namely, the lack of elements. Due to inclement weather in Arlington, Texas, the roof of Globe Life Field will be closed for the first time this postseason. During the regular season, that meant an average of more than three fewer runs scored per game.
Will that play into the Rays' hands?
Follow along, starting at 8:08 p.m., as Morton and his teammates aim to take their first lead of the series.
