Aaron Judge, the outfielder for the Dodgers, was impressed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s performance in facing off against Cody Poteet for nearly five innings. Manager Aaron Boone and Poteet, the starting pitcher for the Yankees, both praised the “incredible” atmosphere at Yankee Stadium as they battled it out on the mound.
Poteet’s strong pitching allowed only two hits over seven innings, while Yamamoto’s impressive showing included a no-hitter over five innings. Despite the Dodgers ultimately winning in 11 innings, Soto’s injury update brought attention to his elbow. An MRI revealed that there was only inflammation present in his elbow, providing some relief and optimism for his recovery.
