June 1, 2025

Ryan Yarbrough limited baseball’s best offense to four hits over six innings, Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and the New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 to avoid getting swept for the first time this season. Yarbrough improved to 3-0 while allowing one run and striking out five against his former team. Yoshinobu Yamamoto fell to 6-4 after giving up a season-high seven hits and striking out two in 3 2/3 innings. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani each went hitless with a combined three strikeouts. The Dodgers got homers from Tommy Edman, Andy Pages and Max Muncy.

Yarbrough’s revenge: How a World Series ring inspired his win for the Yankees over the Dodgers

June 1, 2025

Ryan Yarbrough picked up a dazzling World Series ring from his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. Then he went out and beat them. The New York Yankees starter pitched one-run ball over six innings, struck out a season-high five and blanked the Dodgers’ top four hitters in a 7-3 win. The 33-year-old left-hander made 44 relief appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays last season. The Dodgers designated him for assignment on July 29 and the next day traded him to Toronto. So even though he wasn’t around for their World Series victory over the Yankees last fall, Yarbrough earned a ring. He signed with New York in March and is 3-0 with a 2.83 ERA this season.

Judge and Ohtani light up the first inning with historic homers in Yankees-Dodgers rematch

May 30, 2025

Reigning MVPs Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani blasted historic home runs in the first inning as the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers met in a rematch of last year’s World Series. Judge got the fireworks going with a 446-foot solo shot to dead center on a 1-1 pitch from Tony Gonsolin. The Yankees slugger’s 19th homer of the season tied him with Kyle Schwarber and Cal Raleigh for second in the majors. Ohtani matched him in the bottom of the frame with a 417-foot homer to center on the first pitch from Max Fried. Ohtani homered again leading off the fifth, extending his major league lead to 22 homers.
