DODGERS vs. YANKEES: Official Full Game 1 Highlights (July 19) | 2026 MLB Season

We've got baseball morning noon and night here with the day night doubleheader and we have one of the best pitching match ups in baseball this season Yamamoto for the Dodgers Cam Schlittler for the New York Yankees and a featured matchup here to begin this game with Ohtani facing off with Cam Schlittler the Yankees with 25 years old is the leading candidate for Cy Young a 2 0 5 era swung on and miss a hundred miles an hour my best your best I win this time what a start at a hundo he gets a strikeout of Ohtani to start this game Ohtani's the first out of the ballgame up comes Andy Pajas Sprech at a miss at ninety nine and Schlittler's on fire right out of the gate two down has down with a ninety nine mile an hour fastball this good old country hardball right it is so can Schlittler strike out the side swing and a miss. Bring in the heat he strikes out the side one two three. Cam Schlittler feeling it. Dodgers struck out in order the top of the first down Yoshinobu Yamamoto getting ready for his 18th start of the year and pick your poison hitters one sixty against his four seam one forty against his sinker swing and a miss strike three. Well if you like strikeouts is the right game to watch for before all swinging two up and two down in this first inning for Yamamoto and here's Jason Dominguez on the hands pop up right side and foul ground for Freddy Freeman on eight pitches Yamamoto goes one two three in the first. So four consecutive case for Schlittler to open the game can Max Muncy snap the streak to fly ball to right center field Max Schumann can't find it still can't find it and just Chisholm was not there to help him. Muncy taking nothing for granted and just the latest evidence of the gap in details between these two franchises. They decided a World Series clinching game and much smaller stakes right here. But glaring so the Dodgers catching a break right here getting their first base runner of the day with a gift from the sun and from Jazz Dodgers looking for an early run against Schlittler not going to get too many opportunities against a guy like this and try to take advantage of the gift that bought a two percent hit probability. That one is Luke and caught by Volpe Volpe for out number two and a Yankee defense that gives then takes that's a great athletic play by Anthony. Good job there two down not out of the woods yet. The Oscar Hernandez the seven hole hitter forty two pitches for Schlittler popped up. It's Ben Rice in fair territory one hand catch in the foul territory and the catch is made and the crisis ends right there. Five outs on 14 pitches and Chisholm hits a ground ball right side Edman diving stop Beckett gets up quickly throws it to first in time Tommy Edman with a sparkling defensive play to finish the second inning six up six down against Yamamoto and a matchup between Yamamoto and Schultz where you're wondering who's going to blink first. The difference may come and who stays in the game longest. And while Schultz is not giving anything up yet he's had to throw forty four pitches through two while Yamamoto's thrown seventeen Edman first pitch ground ball base hit right field as it squeezes between Rice and Chisholm. The first true hit for the Dodgers today first earned hit and then it gets so tiny to the plate with a man aboard and Yankee Stadium in his career he's nine for seventy five Ohtani cracks it to right field running after it Schumann it is over his head pops off the warning track and then off the front of the Yankee bullpen green light for Edman coming around from first the relay from Chisholm is late Harvey I double show here Ohtani one nothing Dodgers in the Bronx and there is that spark they were looking for Ohtani doubles off of the wall to start the scoring so the Dodgers strike first and here comes Andy Paez for six swings five were misses since then almost twenty swings only three misses they have continued to survive they continue to foul them off and this is going to be another eight pitch at bat no matter how it ends you break down pitch counts and everything else that is the sixteenth foul ball officially popped up Sanchez tosses away the mask makes the play on the back pedal two outs well if there's a day to get the starter out of the game early it is the day of a double header when it's game one Freddie Freeman trying to get his second half fired up 0 4 3 K's on Friday drive to center field a base hit here comes Ohtani Grisham loads up in fire zone but it's late and it's two to nothing but two out to strike base it for Freddie Freeman to score Ohtani build up pitch counts you have more pitches to choose from Yoshino Yamamoto incredibly efficient the first two innings six outs and 17 pitches Muncie leaping stab long throw and a dig from Freddie Freeman Oh baby what a play Max Muncie starting in jumping to retrieve a high chopper landing in foul ground in fires a one hop strike to Freddie Freeman who dug it out on the other end we've got two outs in the third inning he's thrown twenty three pitches Roxen fires a two to and he's perfect once through the lineup at Yankee Stadium another strike after Slitler his seven strikeouts do is it means you throw a lot of pitches in the way that they foul pitches off foul pitches off it's got to be frustrating as a pitcher every once in a while you know you need a first pitch ground out or a fly ball swing and a missed strike. I just blew him away with ninety seven eight strikeouts in the ballgame through four sort of ton of pitches Yankees looking for a base runner nine up nine down and the first three innings against Yamamoto they're down to nothing in this game drill deep to right field there's a run for the Yankees there's a hit there's a base runner and there is a statement a big homerun for Grisham it's two one well it's important for the Yankees to get on the board to realize that they can and Trent Grisham did it in one swing his eleventh of the year no doubter. All of a sudden you kind of put things up on the in the dugout as Yamamoto has been so tough. You just wonder is that one of these days. Well now you're at least on the board where you feel like you know it's possible to get to somebody. Most pitches Cam Shuttler's ever thrown through four innings eighty eight of them he's thrown more of those breaking pitches than ever today and the Dodgers just haven't really been bothered by it runner at second now here's Andy Pahe. Andy 0 4 2 today but he's seen a lot of pitches fastballs poke the right sinking base hit has turns the corner heads to second with an RBI double as Edmund comes in and steps on home Dodgers get the run right back and that is kind of a snapshot of what it's been today not a whole lot of hard hit balls but the Dodgers fighting and making life tough on Schlittler loses the bat gets a hit and ends the day of the Yankees it's a frustrating day for the young righty just one base runner for the Yankees in this game it was a home run this is same kind of line that Yamamoto had against the Yankees in the World Series or just the one hit and it was a Soto home run a 3 2 pitch comes home and Chisholm swings through it for strike three Yamamoto six strikeout it's coming right at Chisholm so it just moves a little bit now Anthony Volpe the shortstop who's 0 4 1 in the air to left field for Tasker Hernandez on to the track he hauls it in and a one two three fifth for Yamamoto has given up just one base runner through five innings one hit against Yamamoto through five innings he's got a three to one lead getting ahead and weak contact only five swings and misses only two balls have been hit hard and he's had just fifty seven pitches Schuettler through 90 through four throwing a lot of strikes and he's getting a lot of contact in the strike zone just mentioned not much swing and miss but that weak contact is in the strike zone and it's a one two three six he has retired the Yankees in order since Grisham's home run in the fourth and now against the Yankees in this ballpark two starts in his career 13 strikeouts and just one run in 13 innings good swing on hit for the gap and right center field that's going to get down right to the three eighty five side then dig it for second and he'll get there easily and that is a terrific start to the seventh inning some life here from the Yankee offense just their second base hit their second base runner double number 17 for bad lead up double is an opportunity at least you have to play Ben Rice after the leadoff double no advance Yamamoto trying to go seven innings for the eighth time this year the only guys that have done it more Christopher Sanchez of the Phillies Logan Webb of the Giants lead off double from Ben Rice he's still at second with two out and two strikes on Schumann line to center but it's right at Andy Pajas and Yamamoto strands the lead up double and he's got seven strong behind them in the Bronx one away in the eighth months he's the hitter two for three today eight out of his last 15 against New York to two popped in the air that's fading foul third base side McMahon loses it in the sun and it bounces on the warning track definitely catchable and that is the second time today Max Muncy has put a ball in the air that should have been caught by a Yankee the first time it dropped for a double this time it bounced foul for an extra like the ninth pitch inside ball for and what a walk from Muncy and Ryan McMahon at third just dropped his head in frustration three one Dodgers in the top of the eighth looking for some insurance runs here in the late inning Tucker with a base hit into right center field months he's going to go from first to third and the Dodgers have him cornered this is a big spot for Teoscar Hernandez he can deliver a knockout blow right here that smack down the right field line to the corner Schumann's over there and it lands fair and bounces out of play RBI double Teoscar Hernandez and they lead 4 to 1 Schumann has not played a ton of Alfield in his baseball life would have been a really good play had he gotten there today but it has been an adventure for him that it dropped pop fly from your third baseman it turns into an ugly inning the Yankees felt like a semi intentional wrong to set up the double play and the bases are loaded for Tommy Edmund Edmund trying to crack this game loose another three to pitch to Edmund and that's through past the drawn in Rice Tucker's in trying to score Hernandez right behind him Tommy Edmund knocks in two out of the nine spot and the Dodgers lead at six to one which just seems like the Dodgers have been knocking on the door all day to break this thing open they just kept adding big hit after big hit in big situations and that one right there shut the door three in the bank here in the eight still just one away and here is Ohtani that's the base for Ohtani rushing Chuggin for the plate he'll score easily Edmund to third seven to one second run knocked in today for Ohtani I mean this is just ugly for the Yankees a pop up foul territory on the third base side that should have been caught a blooper down the right field line and all of a sudden you pitch to a point where it just blows up on you there's the ninth batter to come to the plate bases loaded still just one out four runs in goes up to get it smacks it to centerfield this will bring home Edmund from the third sacrifice fly for Freddie Freeman makes it eight to one and a five run inning for L.A. Yamamoto had warmed up and then didn't like the footing was going to make this wait even longer it had been 30 minutes since he last threw a pitch is completed eight innings twice it's the Angels against the White Sox in the near perfect game high fly ball left center Paez battling the sun he can't make the play and it falls in and just Chisholm will stop at second with an inning opening double so whatever's going on that sky it's an equal opportunity offender that's a third hit for the Yankees here's Volpe's pitch so I got a little looper in the left field that's going to work that'll get down now it's called ball comes to him immediately as he comes into the game he gets back in his chest comes around 30 scores should be two outs nobody on but a weekly hit ball finds outfield grass and another wall finds the sun. Dave Roberts I'm sure is hoping to get Yamamoto through this inning and maybe only one pitcher for the night bounce to the first for Freeman guns into second for one back to first and easy double play just for the doctor ordered right there eighty nine pitches and Yamamoto and out away from finishing off eight innings Sanchez to left call coming in and he makes the catch the Yankees get a run thanks to a sun ball to center field the Dodgers still lead the Yamamoto Yamamoto's back out there for the ninth inning looking for his first regular season complete game in the majors fly ball center field almost an instant replay of the one pot has lost in the sun last inning but he's able to track this one for the first down to the nine what a bounce back outing this is for Yamamoto when you consider the way his first half finished with the six runs that he gave up on the first pitch he gets rice to fly to center field again testing Paz's shades he's got it to go on in the nine. His Yamamoto is a strike away from a complete game something we've not seen in years and we've seen a lot the last couple of years and he goes the distance against New York Yamamoto with the first regular season complete game of his career the first one for the Dodgers in two years as he finishes his day with a seven strikeout and an eight to Dodger win.
