The New York Yankees avoided a series sweep with a decisive 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on June, 2025, at Dodger Stadium. Ryan Yarbrough starred on the mound for New York, holding the Dodgers to just four hits and one run over six innings while striking out five. Ben Rice delivered the game’s turning point with a tiebreaking two-run homer, helping the Yankees pull away late.
Despite the win, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani both went hitless, leaving the heavy lifting to other lineup members. DJ LeMahieu led the Yankees’ offense with four hits, marking his first four-hit game since 2021. For the Dodgers, Tommy Edman provided a spark with a solo home run, but the team struggled to generate consistent offense against Yarbrough and the Yankees’ bullpen.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers’ ace, had a rough outing, giving up seven hits and four runs in just 2/3 innings—both season lows for the right-hander. The Dodgers had dominated the first two games of the series, outscoring the Yankees 26-7, but couldn’t complete the sweep in front of the season’s largest crowd at Dodger Stadium.
