Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was in 'disbelief' following New York Yankees Aaron Judge hitting two home runs in the same game against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers not only clinched the series win over the New York Yankees on Saturday night, they also handed the visiting Yanks one of their worst losses in franchise history. Coming off an 8-5 win in the opener of the 2024 World Series rematch on Friday, the Dodgers on Saturday ritually dismantled the Yankees 18-2 .
Former Dodger Ryan Yarbrough silences the top of the lineup as Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggles in 7-3 loss, but the Dodgers take the series and maintain their NL West lead.
Yamamoto was chased after just 3.2 innings of work by the same Yankees’ offense that only accumulated one run off Landon Knack the day prior. It was the first outing of the year that saw Yamamoto exit before throwing at least five innings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees will close out their series on Sunday Night Baseball after the Dodgers took the first two games of the series.
Monday is 'Lou Gehrig Day' around Major League Baseball, but it's a travel day for the Yankees following their nine-game western road trip.
The Yankees opted to bring in an arm after four relievers combined for three innings in Friday night’s 8-5 loss and they used six in seven innings (not counting infielding Pablo Reyes’ outing) in Saturday’s 18-2 loss.
