The Yankees and their fan base exhaled Friday afternoon, then spent the night elevating heart rates around the tri-state area for different reasons.<\/p>\n
The encouraging news of Juan Soto\u2019s only having forearm inflammation soon gave way to a highly anticipated showdown that had a playoff feel between the Yankees and Dodgers.<\/p>\n
The series opener lived up to the hype surrounding it, with a nail-biting scoreless game going to extras before the Dodgers crashed the party in their first visit to Yankee Stadium since 2016.<\/p>\n
Teoscar Hernandez finally broke the ice by drilling a two-run double to the gap off Ian Hamilton in the 11th inning, snapping the Yankees\u2019 eight-game winning streak and lifting the Dodgers to a 2-1 win in front of a buzzing sellout crowd of 48,048.<\/p>\n
The Yankees (45-20) got one run back in the bottom of the inning when Aaron Judge roped a one-out single to score automatic runner Anthony Volpe from second. <\/p>\n
But Dodgers reliever Yohan Ramirez got Giancarlo Stanton to strike out and Anthony Rizzo to pop out to end it.<\/p>\n
Hamilton had kept the Dodgers (40-25) at bay with a scoreless top of the 10th inning, giving the Yankees a chance to win it in the bottom half. <\/p>\n
But Trent Grisham could not get a bunt down to lead off the inning, instead flying out before Dodgers reliever Michael Grove got Jose Trevino and Volpe to pop out, sending the game to the 11th.<\/p>\n
The Yankees were playing without Soto in their starting lineup for the first time this season after a Friday afternoon MRI exam revealed forearm inflammation, which manager Aaron Boone described as \u201cgood news.\u201d <\/p>\n
Boone did not shut the door on Soto\u2019s being available off the bench Friday night, and the slugger did have his batting gloves on with a bat in his hands while standing on the top step of the dugout in the bottom of the seventh and again in the bottom of the ninth. <\/p>\n
But he never got farther than that, seemingly just serving as a decoy the whole time.<\/p>\n
After Yoshinobu Yamamoto stifled the Yankees across seven shutout innings, they had the makings of a two-out rally in the eighth with back-to-back singles from Volpe and Alex Verdugo. <\/p>\n
Judge then worked a 10-pitch walk to load the bases, but Blake Treinen got Stanton to fly out to end the inning.<\/p>\n
The Yankees were getting an up-close look at Yamamoto on the mound for the first time after courting him in the offseason. <\/p>\n
The Japanese ace met with the Yankees in Los Angeles in December after the winter meetings and then visited New York for another meeting about a week later. <\/p>\n
But he ultimately turned down their 10-year, $300 million offer to sign with the Dodgers on a 12-year, $325 million contract.<\/p>\n
Yamamoto, who heard plenty of boos from the home crowd when he was introduced before the game, rose to the occasion with his best start as a major leaguer, tossing seven shutout innings in which he allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out seven.<\/p>\n
The 5-foot-10 right-hander seemed to have some extra juice for the big matchup. <\/p>\n
He came into the start averaging 95.3 mph on his four-seam fastball but averaged 97 mph on it Friday night, one of the six different pitches he employed.<\/p>\n
Yamamoto engaged in a pitchers\u2019 duel with Cody Poteet, making his second straight start in place of the injured Clarke Schmidt.<\/p>\n
Poteet cruised through four innings before giving up a walk and a single with two outs in the fifth. <\/p>\n
With Shohei Ohtani due up, Aaron Boone called on lefty reliever Victor Gonzalez to face his former team.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez made quick work of Ohtani, getting a ground ball to first base to end the threat.<\/p>\n
Then in the sixth, Michael Tonkin relieved Gonzalez with a runner on first and one out and retired a pair of batters. <\/p>\n
Tonkin came back out for the seventh and gave up a two-out double to Kik\u00e9 Hernandez, but stayed in to face Mookie Betts. <\/p>\n
With the crowd rising to its feet on a 2-2 count, Tonkin got Betts to ground out to send a roar through the stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
