Meanwhile, it was a brilliant game for the Yankees. They dominated the proceeding as Judge finished the game with an average of 0.333 and an OPS of 1.8333. He scored an HR and had an RBI to his name. Gerrit Cole also shined with his perfect pitching. He allowed a single run in his six innings and claimed five strikeouts.
In comparison, the Dodgers tried their best but could not pull it off as they fell short of the target. Though JD Martinez tried his best to cut the deficit, the 2022 MVP stopped his effort in the eighth innings with a great catch. The Yankees added one more to score in the ninth innings and oversaw another win of the season with a score of 6-3.
