Blue Jays get mad at Yankees coaches again for standing in wrong spot

NEW YORK — Teoscar Hernández broke up a scoreless game with a two-run double in the 11th inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Yankees 2-1 Friday night to stop New York’s season-best eight-game winning streak.

In a matchup viewed as a possible World Series preview, Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball in his Yankee Stadium debut. Anthony Banda, Blake Treinen, Daniel Hudson, Michael Grove (4-2) and Yohan Ramírez finished a five-hitter for the Dodgers.

Ramírez, pitching for his third big league team this season, got his first save in two years after allowing a one-out RBI single to Aaron Judge. Ramírez threw a called third strike past Giancarlo Stanton and retired Anthony Rizzo on a foul pop, dropping New York to 1-4 in extra innings this year.

Juan Soto, bothered by a sore left forearm, missed his first game of the season for the Yankees though he appeared ready to pinch hit in the late innings.

On a night plate umpire Todd Tichenor frustrated both teams with a tight strike zone, the game was scoreless into the 11th.

Ian Hamilton (0-1), the sixth Yankees pitcher, retired Ohtani on an inning-ending grounder with two on in the 10th. With Ohtani on second as the automatic runner in the 11th, Hamilton walked Freddie Freeman and retired Will Smith on a flyout before Hernández drove an 0-2 slider to the left-center gap.

Hernández also made leaping catch against the left-field wall on Volpe leading off first.

Los Angeles hadn’t played in the Bronx since 2016.

“Hopefully we get to do this again sometime in late October,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It has to and it should feel different when you come into this ballpark and you play this franchise. When you’re playing for the Dodgers and playing for the Yankees, it better feel different. You’d good. If not, you better do something different for a profession.”

A season-high crowd of 48,048 filled Yankee Stadium, New York’s fourth sellout this year.

“This is one of those series in the regular season that is going to that have that extra juice,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
