The New York Yankees suffered a 2-1 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending a four-game winning streak. Despite a strong start by Gerrit Cole, Max Muncy hit a two-run home run to secure the win for the Dodgers. The game also featured Trent Grisham being thrown out at the plate.

Coverage from ESPN, MLB.com, and The New York Times emphasizes that Aaron Boone accepts the blame for the loss. MLB.com reports that Cole talked Boone out of being hooked before yielding the go-ahead home run. The Los Angeles Times notes that Muncy's home run made the Yankees pay for the decision to keep Cole on the mound.
