Aftermath

So the Yankees do what they have to do: play a good game of baseball, score a few runs and get a win. This means there is no series sweep and a ray of pride has arrived in the Bronx. So do their bats. Even Judge looked a little better tonight.

But make no mistake, LA's goal was to get through a bullpen game without using their big bullpen pieces. That's exactly what they did, and now all of the substitutes are fresh and ready for Game 5 tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium. And yes, New York will have their ace Gerrit Cole on the mound as they try to force a return to LA for Game 6. But the Dodgers will also have a formidable arm in Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a $300 million pitcher on the way to becoming an MLB ace after several seasons of dominant performances in his native Japan. He more or less shut out New York in Game 2, allowing a single run in 6.1 innings and is more than capable of dueling Cole.

So there's a lot to look forward to! We'll be back for Game 5 on Wednesday! Thanks for reading, and wherever you are, good morning, good afternoon and good night!

Hey, we have an out! Chisholm pops out to the left. Two points down for Stanton, and his performance means the Yankees fought hard!

RUN! Dodgers 4-11 Yankees, bottom 8

An RBI hit for Judge! Soto scores! The judge is getting closer to the turning point.

And now he's stealing the second one! Yankees run amok in the eighth!

Dodgers 4-10 Yankees, bottom 8th

Soto joins the party with a base hit to the right. Can Judge put the icing on the cake and finally break free?

Dodgers 4-10 Yankees, bottom 8th

Still only one out and Soto is starting.

HOME RUN! Dodgers 4-10 Yankees, bottom 8th

It's a three-run jack for Torres! and the Dodgers' dam is broken! It's a four-run eighth inning for New York, now surely headed to Game 5!

RUN! Dodgers 4-7 Yankees, bottom 8

Verdugo hits a groundball to second and Volpe heads home on contact! Lux shoots home, not in time! This is a key run and increases the Yankees' lead to three! And also a great shot from Verdugo!

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 8th

Great shot from Verdugo, who fought his way through nine shots.

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 8th

Double theft! Volpe and Wells take off and are now in second and third place! Clever!

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 8th

Wells' fantastic evening continues as he sketches a walk. Two in, one out. Can Verdugo get insurance?

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 8th

Volpe singles to left, and now the Yankees shortstop makes the turn and goes to second! He slides head first and is safe! He had been out, but Lux couldn't make it! That's a one-out double. Here's basher Austin Wells, who had a fantastic evening out of nowhere.

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 8th

Brent Honeywell comes on to replace Knack and immediately lures a ball for the first time, which is easy for Freeman – he has it, throws it to Honeywell, who is covering, and that's the first one out.

Volpe is next.

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, Top 8

Weaver knocks Muncy out with a fastball in the zone! Page retired! The Yankees are just three outs away from extending this series to a fifth game!

Hernandez waves low and in during a change! That's two outs for Weaver in the eighth!

Luke Weaver comes out again and gets Freeman to jump up the middle. Yanks five outs away! Now he meets the dangerous Hernandez and takes a 0-2 lead.

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 7

Stanton hits a scorcher, but it hits left fielder Hernandez. This is the third out.

So four in the books for Knack doing his job and eating innings for LA, which is really what it's all about tonight.

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 7

Knack pulls the line and Judge gets under it – it's a routine fly out. One down.

Then Chisholm swings on the first throw and swings it harmlessly to the left. Two down.

That leaves Stanton. Can he continue with flying colors?

Dodgers 4-6 Yankees, bottom 7

Knack begins his fourth inning and faces Judge, who is still waiting for the shot that will bring the house down.
