The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 4-2 in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday.
The Dodgers now take the series three games to zero as they look for the sweep in game four on Tuesday.
Although the Dodgers have a commanding lead in the series, manager Dave Roberts revealed what his team must do to close out the series.
“I just think we’ve got to stay focused, stay urgent,” Roberts said.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went 3-0 as a member of the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 World Series.

The Dodgers’ pitching staff has kept the Yankees’ dangerous offense in check so far, as they’ve allowed just seven runs combined through three games.
With a three-game lead, Roberts seems to want his team to stay on offense because baseball momentum can change quickly.
Games four and five will be played at Yankee Stadium, if necessary, with games six and seven returning to Los Angeles.
The Dodgers are seeking their first title since 2020 and their first World Series title since 1963.
It looks like the Dodgers will be looking for a fourth game and the Yankees will look to Luis Gil to try to avoid a sweep.
Getting back to zero deficit from three games is extremely difficult, but not impossible.
The Dodgers will look to avoid extending the streak any further as they seek their eighth World Series title in franchise history.
Roberts is seeking his second World Series title as Dodgers manager.
