The pitching duel between Yankees starter Cody Poteet and Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at Yankee Stadium was a closely contested matchup that lasted nearly five innings. Poteet described the atmosphere as “incredible,” while manager Aaron Boone and outfielder Aaron Judge praised Yamamoto for his strong performance, despite the Yankees ultimately falling to the Dodgers in 11 innings.
The game was intense, with both pitchers showcasing their skills on the mound. Poteet’s performance was commendable, but it was Yamamoto who stood out with a two-hit, seven inning outing that helped secure the win for the Dodgers.
Amidst the excitement of the game, there were concerns about the health of Juan Soto, who plays outfield for the Nationals. Soto was listed as day to day after an MRI showed that he only had inflammation in his injured elbow. This update provided some relief for fans and players alike, as Soto’s presence on the field is crucial for his team’s success.
