Dodgers’ pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Yankees starter Cody Poteet put on an incredible show at Yankee Stadium, with their pitching duel lasting almost five innings. Poteet described the atmosphere as “incredible,” and both Aaron Judge and manager Aaron Boone praised Yamamoto for his impressive performance, allowing only two hits over seven innings.
The focus shifted to the health of OF Juan Soto after the game, as an MRI revealed that his injured elbow only had inflammation. This news was a relief for fans and the team, as Soto is an integral part of their lineup. Despite the Dodgers ultimately winning the game in 11 innings, the thrilling pitching duel between Poteet and Yamamoto stole the show.
