NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and five Yankees<\/a> pitchers combined on a four-hitter as New York edged the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 2-1 to split their day-night doubleheader Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cody Bellinger<\/a> had an early RBI single and the Yankees won for only the second time in their past 11 home games, preventing a three-game sweep by their old October rivals in the Dodgers’ first visit to the Bronx since winning the 2024 World Series.<\/p>\n

After a rainout Saturday night, the Dodgers took the opener 8-2 as Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> tossed a four-hitter for his first regular-season complete game in 66 major league starts.<\/p>\n

Hours later, it was seven pitchers from a fresh Los Angeles relief corps who quieted the Yankees’ scuffling lineup in a bullpen game for the Dodgers. New York failed to score in the fifth after loading the bases with nobody out and stranded 11 runners overall.<\/p>\n

But the Yankees also found success with a bullpen game as Ryan Yarbrough<\/a>, Paul Blackburn<\/a> and Brent Headrick<\/a> combined to hold the Dodgers scoreless on three hits through seven innings before pinch-hitter Tommy Edman<\/a> homered on Fernando Cruz’s<\/a> second pitch leading off the eighth, tying it 1-all. <\/p>\n

It was Edman’s second homer this season and the third pinch-hit shot of his career. The previous one came on July 10, 2021, with St. Louis at the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n

Following consecutive one-out walks, closer David Bednar<\/a> (4-3) entered and struck out Shohei Ohtani<\/a> before Chisholm ranged from second base into shallow right field to make a wobbly catch of Andy Pages<\/a>‘ inning-ending popup.<\/p>\n

With one out in the bottom half, Chisholm drove a 1-0 fastball from Evan Phillips<\/a> (0-1) the other way to left-center for his 14th home run. <\/p>\n

Bednar worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth, retiring Edman on a game-ending popup with his 32nd pitch of the night.<\/p>\n

Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> doubled off Dodgers opener Will Klein<\/a> with two outs in the first and scored on Bellinger’s single.<\/p>\n

Dodgers rookie catcher Eliezer Alfonzo<\/a> singled in the third for his first major league hit. <\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Dodgers: RHP Emmet Sheehan (4-6, 4.81 ERA) pitches Monday night at Philadelphia in the opener of a three-game series between National League pennant contenders. <\/p>\n

Yankees: LHP Ryan Weathers (3-7, 4.15 ERA) starts Monday night at home against Pittsburgh All-Star RHP Braxton Ashcraft (9-3, 3.49). <\/p>\n
