Yankees vs Dodgers Match Player Stats (June 1, 2024)
Yankees vs Dodgers match player stats from June 1 tell you everything about why baseball remains the most beautifully unpredictable sport on earth. After watching the Dodgers pummel us 26-7 across two games, including Saturday’s 18-2 bloodbath, I thought we were cooked. Dead. Finished.
Ryan Yarbrough said hold my beer.
The journeyman lefty took the ball Sunday afternoon at Chavez Ravine and pitched like Sandy Koufax’s ghost possessed him. Six innings. Four hits. Zero walks. Against a Dodgers lineup that draws free passes like it’s their job. I’ve covered baseball for 20 years, watched guys throw 100 mph get shelled. This dude shows up throwing 86 and makes Shohei Ohtani look like he’s swinging a pool noodle.

The Pitching Matchup That Decided Everything

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Yarbrough | 6.0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 93-57 | 2.83 |

| Tim Hill | 1.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 14-8 | 2.67 |
Yarbrough received his World Series ring pregame for his work with the Dodgers last season. Nice moment. Touching ceremony. Then he absolutely carved them up. His 17 swings and misses ranked second-most against LA all year. Only Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes with his 100-mph heat generated more (18).
Skenes throws harder than anyone alive. Yarbrough tops out at 89 on a good day. Yet he made the Dodgers look nearly as foolish. The zero walks? Money. This Dodgers team leads baseball in OBP. They’re trained from birth to take pitches. Work counts. Grind you down. Yarbrough flipped the script. Threw strikes. Dared them to hit his junk. They couldn’t.
After Tommy Edman’s solo shot in the second, Yarbrough morphed into Greg Maddux. Retired 13 of the next 15 Dodgers. Changed speeds. Altered arm angles. Had them guessing wrong on everything.

| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | 3.2 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 96-59 | 2.39 |

| Chris Stratton | 2.0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 42-23 | 6.75 |
Yamamoto’s implosion shocked everyone in the building. This cat handcuffed us to one hit over 6.1 innings in Game 2 of the World Series. Made Judge look like a Little Leaguer. Sunday? Different animal entirely.
First inning alone required 28 pitches. Bases loaded. Sweat pouring. Body language screaming “get me out of here.” His command vanished like my patience during a rain delay. The 3.2 innings marked his shortest outing of 2025. That pristine 2.20 ERA ballooned to 2.39.
Dave Roberts burned through five pitchers total. That’s the hidden damage of an early knockout. Your bullpen gets taxed. Guys pitch on back-to-back days. Come July, those extra innings matter.

DJ LeMahieu turned back the clock to 2019. Four hits raised his average from .171 to .239 in three hours. A 68-point jump. Baseball doesn’t work like that. Except Sunday it did.
His fifth-inning RBI single extended our lead to 5-1. His ninth-inning RBI double provided insurance. Timely hitting from a guy who looked washed a week ago. Veterans don’t forget how to hit. Sometimes they just need one good game to remember.
Ben Rice’s two-run bomb in the third changed everything. Kid sat on the splitter, got it, and absolutely demolished it. Ball traveled 425 feet to dead center. No cheapie. No wind-aided garbage. Pure barrel. His 12th homer came with Judge on first and the game tied.
Judge going 0-for-4 stings. But the supporting cast responded. Domínguez with the first-inning RBI. Volpe hustling home on a wild pitch. Peraza coming through late. Nine different Yankees recorded hits. That’s depth.

Ohtani, Teoscar, Freeman, Smith. The fearsome foursome. Combined 0-for-16 with seven punchouts. First time all season these mashers went collectively hitless. This is how you beat the Dodgers. Make their stars uncomfortable. Change speeds. Hit your spots. Give them nothing free.
The Dodgers managed six hits. Three came via solo shots: Edman in the second, Pages and Muncy back-to-back in the seventh. Zero walks drawn. First walkless game since April 14. When your entire approach revolves around patience and working counts, a game like this breaks your brain.
Two runners left on base all game. The Dodgers usually have two guys on base every inning. Their inability to create traffic doomed them. Solo homers don’t win games.
The Key Innings That Changed Everything
First Inning Drama
Yamamoto takes the mound in front of 54,031 screaming fans. First three pitches miss badly. Goldschmidt works him. Grisham battles. By the time Domínguez steps in, Yamamoto’s already thrown 20 pitches.
Domínguez lines one to right. 1-0 Yankees. Yamamoto loads the bases. The crowd goes quiet. He escapes with just one run after 28 pitches, but the damage was done. His command never returned.
Third Inning Explosion
Game tied 1-1. Judge walks to lead off. Yamamoto falls behind Rice 2-1. The splitter comes. Rice was ready.
CRACK.
Ball explodes off the bat at 107 mph. Travels 425 feet to dead center. As Rice rounded first, Yamamoto’s shoulders slumped. Then he bounces one past Smith. Volpe scores from second. 4-1 Yankees. Dodger Stadium turns into a morgue.
Seventh Inning Drama
We’re cruising at 6-1. Boone brings in Loáisiga. First pitch to Pages gets crushed to left. 6-2. Muncy steps in. First pitch again. Gone. Back-to-back jacks. Now it’s 6-3 and 54,000 people are on their feet.
Boone stays calm. Leaves Loáisiga in to finish. Williams mows them down in the eighth. Hill closes clean in the ninth. Championship composure when it mattered.
Historical Context and Season Impact
This marked the Yankees’ fourth win when facing a series sweep. They’ve beaten Arizona, Detroit, Cleveland, and now the Dodgers in elimination games. No other team has avoided a sweep all season. That’s the mental edge champions need.
The win salvaged a 6-3 West Coast trip. With rotation injuries mounting, stealing one in LA feels massive. Yarbrough emerging as a reliable arm couldn’t come at a better time.

That’s baseball. That’s why we love it.
