The Yankees entered their series against the Dodgers with confidence, having just swept the Angels. In a competitive game, they initially surged ahead with four home runs in the first three innings. However, the Dodgers, led by Shohei Ohtani, responded dramatically, taking the lead and securing an 8-5 victory. Notably, both Ohtani and Aaron Judge, last year's MVPs, homered in the same inning—marking an MLB first. The game included significant contributions from players like Austin Wells and Trent Grisham, underlining the intensity of this matchup.
