In a thrilling matchup, the Dodgers edged the Yankees 2-1, thanks to Max Muncy’s pivotal two-run home run in the seventh inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s decision to keep Gerrit Cole on the mound backfired as Muncy capitalized on a hanging slider. Roki Sasaki’s strong 5 ⅔-inning outing was marred by a defensive miscue that allowed a run, but the Dodgers’ defense later redeemed itself with a crucial relay play in the eighth. Los Angeles improved to 62-36, maintaining the best record in MLB.
