“Shall I explain to you what happened last night,” Jeter said. “The Dodgers scored more runs than the Yankees.”

The Yankees didn't score until Alex Verdugo hit a two-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Gleyber Torres retired immediately afterwards and the game was over. The Yankees were outscored 14-7 in the first three games of the series.

Luis Gil will take the mound for New York on Tuesday at Yankees Stadium. Jeter will be back with the Fox broadcast team.
