In their first meeting since a 2024 World Series that ended with the Dodgers raising a trophy and the Yankees swallowing instant infamy, both teams followed a similar script in an 8-5 Dodgers win. First came the Yankees runs, then the Dodgers comeback, aided and abetted by New York's miscues.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim achieved a historic MLB milestone during the series against the New York Yankees.

When Judge (who also made a terrific diving catch in the gap) and Ohtani exchanged blows in the first inning, it marked the first time in MLB history that both reigning MVPs homered in the first inning of the same game.
