The Yankees’ bullpen played a crucial role in their 2-1 victory over the Dodgers in the second game of a doubleheader, bouncing back from a poor performance in the first game.

Manager Aaron Boone’s strategic decisions aimed to bolster the bullpen led to a reshuffling, including sending Jake Bird to Triple-A. As the Yankees navigate player usage amid injuries, they hope for timely returns, including Carlos Rodón.
