What to Know
- Jazz Chisholm singled, stole two bases and scored on an Anthony Volpe fielder's choice to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the 10th.
- Game 1 went to extra innings after Los Angeles tied it up at 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth. Shohei Ohtani doubled -- and advanced to third on an error -- before Mookie Betts drove him in on a sac fly.
- Giancarlo Stanton crushed a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give the Yankees their first lead -- and runs -- of Game 1. It's Stanton's fourth straight game with a home run.
- The homer came right after the Dodgers broke a scoreless tie on a triple from Kike Hernández and a sac fly from Will Smith in the fifth.
- Stanton's homer chased Dodgers starter Jack Flaherty, who gave up two runs on five hits, one walk and six strikeouts over 5.1 innings. Gerrit Cole, who started for the Yankees, threw six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and striking out four.
