  • The early lead for Los Angeles was established when Jasson Domínguez hit an RBI single off Yamamoto in the first inning. However, Tommy Edman quickly tied it for Los Angeles with a solo home run off Yarbrough in the second inning.

  • Ben Rice gave St. Louis back-to-back leads later in the same frame when he hit a two-run homer after tying it earlier.

Conclusion

The win marked another comeback victory for New York City’s American League East division leaders, who have a history of making significant comebacks, including coming back from down by as many as eight runs at Fenway Park last season.
