The Dodgers held off a late Yankees comeback attempt on Saturday in Game 2 of the World Series – but saw their star man Shohei Ohtani get injured in the process.

LA won 4-2 to take a 2-0 series lead following a nervy final inning which saw the visitors load the bases.

Alex Vesia was able to finish off the game after Blake Treinen allowed a Giancarlo Stanto RBI and hitting Anthony Rizzo with a pitch, but the greater concern now will be Ohtani’s health after the Japanese superstar suffered an apparent shoulder injury.

Ohtani left the game in the bottom of the seventh inning after attempting to steal second base and getting tagged out.

He walked off with the help of a trainer and grimaced in pain as he left the field.

It remains to be seen whether or not he’ll be available for Game 3, which will be on Monday in New York.

LA scored all four of their runs off of homers, as Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernandez and Freddie Freeman all went deep.

New York, before their late push, were kept quiet by Yoshinobu Yamamoto aside from Juan Soto hitting a game-tying solo home run in the top of the third inning.

Yamamoto allowed just one hit over 6 1/3 innings, and  retired his last 11 batters and 15 of his final 16 after Soto’s home run.

Soto also singled in the ninth and scored on Stanton’s one-out hit off the third-base bag. Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled and Rizzo was then hit by a pitch, loading the bases. Treinen then struck out Anthony Volpe before Vesia relieved.

Forty-five of 56 teams holding 2-0 World Series leads have gone on to win the title.

New York´s Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts and is hitting .150 with six RBIs and 19 strikeouts in 40 postseason at-bats.
