In a high-stakes matchup at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite Aaron Judge’s impressive two home runs, the Yankees were handed an 11-3 loss by the dominant Dodgers.
Judge’s Power Not Enough
The game started with promise as Judge tied the score at two in the third inning with a solo shot. His powerful swing electrified the crowd, but it was short-lived. From that point on, it was all Dodgers.

Dodgers’ Offensive Onslaught
The Dodgers’ relentless offense included nine consecutive runs, leaving the Yankees struggling to keep up. Seven of those runs came in the final two innings, putting the game out of reach for the home team.
Judge’s Record-Breaking Night
Despite the defeat, Aaron Judge continued his remarkable season. His second home run of the night, his Major League-leading 23rd of the season, was a bright spot for the Yankees. Judge’s power at the plate remains unmatched, but even his heroics couldn’t turn the tide against the Dodgers.
