Yamamoto’s only blemish was a solo home run from Juan Soto in the third inning. It was Soto’s fourth home run of the postseason but Yamamoto settled down and didn’t allow any more hits.

Los Angeles got on the board first in the bottom of the second inning when Tommy Edman hit a solo home run to left field. Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run home run in the third and Freeman followed up with a solo home run.

Soto tried to rally the Yankees with a long single to start the ninth inning. Giancarlo Stanton’s liner off the bag down the third-base line scored Soto. The Yankees loaded the bases but the Dodgers slammed the door.
