Dodgers Eye Sweep as They Face Yankees Sunday Night
The Los Angeles Dodgers are poised to complete a sweep of their series against the New York Yankees on Sunday night at Yankee Stadium, a venue that has already witnessed a dramatic opener and a rain‑delayed contest.
Game one saw Max Muncy deliver a go‑ahead home run in the eighth inning, sparking a 2‑1 victory that was sealed by a clutch defensive play.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw the first complete game of his regular‑season career, scattering two runs over nine innings while striking out seven batters, a performance that underscored his dominance on the mound.
In the preceding game the Dodgers compiled eight runs on ten hits without a single home run, a testament to their aggressive base‑running and small‑ball tactics.
Bullpen Strategy and Key Pitchers
For Sunday night’s matchup the Dodgers will employ a bullpen‑centric approach, opening with Will Klein, who has posted a 2.41 ERA across 37.1 innings this season, before handing the ball to the relievers.
Across the Bronx, Ryan Yarbrough, a veteran of 24 appearances and a 4.14 ERA over 37 innings, is slated to start for the Yankees, aiming to keep the Dodgers’ offense at bay.
The club also promoted right‑hander Kyle Hurt to the roster for the doubleheader, a move that adds depth after his 4.88 ERA in 31.1 innings this year.
Broadcast and Stakes
Fans can watch the action live on NBC and Peacock, while radio affiliates across the country will carry the broadcast, heightening the stakes of what could become a decisive series win.
