Jake Bauers crushed two home runs, Aaron Judge added a solo shot — plus another spectacular catch — sending the Yankees to a 6-3 win over the Dodgers.
They used three straight pinch-hitters to have right-handed hitters face Peralta, resulting in a single, a triple and a walk to get within 5-2.
Boone then turned to Michael King, who gave up an RBI single before retiring Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith in succession to escape the inning with the Yankees still up 5-3. Aaron Judge regains his balance after running through the fence and robbing J.D. Martinez of an extra-base hit in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 6-3 win over the Dodgers.King then got some help from Judge in the eighth inning to keep the Dodgers at bay. After Max Muncy led off by reaching on a dropped third strike that got past Jose Trevino, J.D. Martinez roped a fly ball to deep right field.
Despite the dramatic final few innings, the Yankees’ win set up a rubber-match showdown with the Dodgers on Sunday. Across his first seven starts of the season, Cole posted a 1.35 ERA in 46 ²/₃ innings without allowing a home run. But over his previous five starts entering Saturday, Cole had recorded a 5.67 ERA with eight home runs allowed in 27 innings.But the Dodgers never left the yard against Cole on Saturday. Instead, his fellow Newport Beach native Bauers belted a pair of two-run homers to give him a lead to work with.The Captain does it all.
