Yankees take finale against Dodgers, avoid doubleheader sweep

The New York Yankees edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in the second game of a doubleheader on July 19, 2026, at Yankee Stadium. After falling behind 1-0, the Dodgers tied it in the eighth inning with a solo home run from Tommy Edman. However, Jazz Chisholm Jr. responded with a go-ahead homer for the Yankees shortly after. Despite a strong bullpen performance from the Dodgers, which included seven pitchers and limited opportunities for the Yankees, they were unable to capitalize fully. The Yankees' win prevented a sweep in the series, which had been largely dominated by the Dodgers.
