The Yankees, after a wild 18-2 blowout loss on Saturday, rolled to a solid 7-3 win over the reigning World Series champions on Sunday afternoon.
That gave them their first win of the three-game series and successfully avoided the sweep. The Yankees are one of just three teams in the league, along with the New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds, who have yet to be swept this season.
The Dodgers won the opening game of the series 8-5 on Friday, thanks to a pair of home runs from star Shohei Ohtani. Then came Saturday’s stunner, which was powered by seven RBIs from Muncy. Their 18 runs was the most that the Dodgers have ever put up against the Yankees in history.
The Yankees have an off day on Monday and then return to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday (June 3) to begin a homestand against Cleveland. LHP Carlos Rodon will take the mound for New York.
