Complementing Yamamoto's pitching, Shohei Ohtani had a strong offensive showing, hitting two doubles and driving in two runs. The Dodgers' offense provided ample support, scoring two runs in the third inning, adding another in the fifth, and putting the game away with a five-run eighth inning. Key hits came from Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, Teoscar Hernández, and Edman.

The Dodgers secured an 8-2 victory in the first game of their doubleheader against the Yankees. Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler took the loss, his sixth of the season, after allowing three runs in 4.1 innings.
