The first two games of a highly anticipated series featured the Dodgers, then the Yankees, flexing their offensive muscles.
Sunday’s rubber match was much more of a nail-biter, following a tense script befitting the Hollywood stage.the Yankees scratched across just enough offense to make sure Domingo German’s gem did not go to waste — and then added some thump for a little breathing room in the ninth — pulling out a 4-1 win to claim the series at Dodger Stadium.
In the seventh, it was a 68.9 mph broken-bat grounder to shortstop by Kyle Higashioka that scored Jake Bauers from third for the 1-0 lead.Then in the eighth, after a rocket double from Giancarlo Stanton put runners on second and third, it was a 60.2 mph chopper to second base by Oswaldo Cabrera that scored Anthony Rizzo from third to put the Yankees back on top 2-1.
A scuffling Anthony Volpe then delivered a clutch two-out, two-run home run in the top of the ninth for some much-needed insurance.
