Yankees urge Dodgers to skid

LOS ANGELES – The top two baseball teams met Friday night at a crowded Dodger stadium for the first of three contests, which some see as a tantalizing glimpse of what the World Series might look like.

If that's true, the Yankees sent a message by playing their muscles against the left Hyun-Jin Ryu, en route to a 10-2 loss that was seen by a crowd filled with 53,775 people.

On the weekend of the players, the Yankees wore black uniforms and the Dodgers fought back with white instead of wearing the two most emblematic uniforms of the sport. The garment gave the impression that the league games resembled those of two fitness softball teams wearing custom studded shoes.

"We came here to play the same baseball," said Didi Gregorius, questioned about the buzz surrounding the Yankees-Dodgers at a perfect night out in Southern California inside. a baseball cathedral.

Gregorius contributed to the seventh inning by winning a fourth inning in five innings and a solo attack in the ninth for the last round of the Yankees. Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez dominated Ryu's third win and Gleyber Torres hit his 32nd player in the sixth after beating two players Thursday night in Oakland.

Ryu was intentionally marching towards Sanchez to charge the bases and organize a left-left clash with Gregorius.

"Do not hit the ball on the ground in a double game," Gregorius said as he struck Ryu's first shot over the right-hand wall.

Working without his first-round problems (11.05 ERA and 28 shots, 11 homers in 22 games) and using more curveball, James Paxton achieved a performance that would probably put him in the lead of the first game of the first playoff of the Yankees .

"The use of this field has been huge for me," said Paxton, who won his fifth straight game and earned 10-6. In 6² / ₃, the southpaw allowed two points, five hits and 11 points. "Playing the ball with the ball made my ball faster."

As for Sanchez, he became the receiver and the fastest player in history to reach 100 career goals and made it in 355 games.

"I am happy, [but] I'm sure another receiver arrives and beats that record, "said Sanchez, who took a fierce mask ball in the eighth inning.

The judge added a single RBI in the eighth and got 3 against 5.

All Yankees players, with the exception of Paxton, had at least one of 16 results.

The victory allowed the Yankees to maintain their lead over second place in the AL East Rays to eight lengths and bring them to a Dodger match in the battle for conquest of the battlefield throughout the playoffs.

Paxton made a well-deserved outing given the poor performance of the Yankees starters in the previous seven games.

With Chad Green blistered (five points in the third inning) as the first game by the Indians on August 15th, the arms that had started the previous seven games were a combined total of 2-5 with a score of 8.44. In 32 innings, they gave 38 hits, including nine at home.

In the four-game series that equaled the season's summit that began last Sunday against the Indians in the Bronx and continued in Oakland, the Yankees were swept in three games by the A, CC Sabathia, Domingo German, JA Happ and Masahiro Tanaka were 0-4 with a fat 9,33 EER and allowed 24 hits in 18¹ / ₃ innings.

All these numbers were extinguished by Paxton and the Yankees bats who put together to end a four-game losing streak and eliminate the suffering of a three-game sweep by the A.

"These guys hear about this series and know the excitement around this series and want to come play a big interfaith series at Dodger Stadium, I think our guys love it," Boone said. "It was really nice to see this kind of match, it's really nice to see him, a player like Ryu."
