Los Angeles got on the board first in the bottom of the second inning when Tommy Edman hit a solo home run to left field. Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run home run in the third and Freeman followed with a solo home run.
Soto tried to rally the Yankees with a long single to start the ninth inning. Giancarlo Stanton's line drive off the bag in the bottom of the third scored Soto. The Yankees loaded the bases but the Dodgers slammed the door.

It was hushed joy for the Dodgers as they took a 2-0 lead in the series. The Dodgers suffered a serious injury late in the game.
Ohtani left the game in the bottom of the seventh inning after attempting to steal second base. In the slide, he appeared to have an injury to his left shoulder. He left the field holding his shoulder.
