Yarbrough's revenge: How a World Series ring inspired his win for the Yankees over the Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ryan Yarbrough picked up a dazzling World Series ring from his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. Then he went out and beat them. The New York Yankees starter pitched one-run ball over six innings, struck out a season-high five and blanked the Dodgers' top four hitters in a 7-3 win Sunday night. 'I feel like I'm in a really good place right now and really trying to continue that,' Yarbrough said. 'I'm having a lot of fun.' The 33-year-old left-hander made 44 relief appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays last season. The Dodgers designated him for assignment on July 29 and the next day traded him to Toronto. So even though he wasn't around for their World Series victory over the Yankees last fall, Yarbrough earned a ring. He accepted it from Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes on Friday behind home plate during batting practice. 'Trying to keep that a little discreet, especially with where we're at now, but kind of cool to be able to get that,' Yarbrough said. He signed a $2 million, one-year deal with New York in March and is 3-0 with a 2.83 ERA this season. Making his first career start against the Dodgers, Yarbrough recorded 17 swings-and-misses — including seven with his sweeper. The top four hitters in Los Angeles' lineup had produced at least one hit in every game this season. That is, until Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernández, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith combined to go 0 for 14 in the series finale against Yarbrough and the Yankees. New York manager Aaron Boone has called Yarbrough a throwback, noting his 6-foot-5 frame creates a 'funky' angle for hitters. 'He's got a lot of ways to get you out. Just when you think he's slowing you down, slowing you down, he's able to speed you up enough,' Boone said. 'It feels like it's hard to get a bead on him.' It certainly was for Ohtani. He struck out on five pitches ranging from 70-86 mph in the first inning, when Yarbrough retired the side in order. Later, he set down 13 of 15 batters before exiting. 'He's not going to light up the radar gun, but all his pitches feel like they get on you,' teammate DJ LeMahieu said. 'His fastballs look like they get on you and his off-speed looks extra slow. He's got good stuff and he knows what he's doing out there.' Yarbrough conceded his familiarity with his ex-teammates helped, too. 'It was just a matter of execution and keeping them off balance and not putting them in counts where they can really hunt for certain pitches,' he said. It was also a big night for LeMahieu, who had his first four-hit game since 2021. He drove in two runs and raised his batting average to .239. The second baseman had three singles and a double on a night when Aaron Judge was the only Yankees player without a hit. 'I feel good. Good to get some results,' LeMahieu said. ___ AP MLB:

Instant analysis: Yankees get to Dodgers early, avoid sweep behind starter Ryan Yarbrough

LOS ANGELES – Discreetly, Ryan Yarbrough planned to pick up his 2024 World Series ring this weekend. The veteran lefty was a Los Angeles Dodger until last summer's MLB trade deadline, and he was a Toronto Blue Jay until the penultimate day of spring training this year. Advertisement On Sunday, the soft-tossing, side-arming Yarbrough was the Yankees' best weapon against Shohei Ohtani and the defending world champs at Dodger Stadium. Using his array of cutters, sinkers, changeups and sweepers, Yarbrough dazzled the Dodgers over six innings and prevented the Yankees from being swept in this World Series rematch. Ben Rice's two-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto highlighted a three-run third inning and pushed the Yankees toward a 7-3 victory before 54,031 fans – the largest crowd this year in L.A. Entering the game, Ohtani was 4-for-10 in his career against Yarbrough, with two doubles, a triple and a homer. Advertisement But late Sunday afternoon, Yarbrough struck out Ohtani on a changeup, and got him to fly out and ground out, on the way to a harmless 0-for-4. Out of the No. 8 lineup spot, DJ LeMahieu had a four-hit day with two RBI as the AL East-leading Yankees (36-22) beat the Dodgers (36-23) for the first time since Game 4 of last year's World Series. Jasson Dominguez leaves game with thumb injury Yankees' outfielder Jasson Dominguez exited the game in the sixth inning, due to a left thumb contusion suffered while stealing second base during a two-run fifth. Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough outduels Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto Yamamoto entered Sunday with a sparkling 1.97 ERA but the Yanks s tagged him for four runs on seven hits and three walks, while Yarbrough lowered his seasonal ERA to 2.83. Advertisement In five starts since slotting into the Yankees' rotation, Yarbrough has a 2.08 ERA. Over six innings Sunday, Yarbrough gave up just one run on four hits - including a Tommy Edman home run in the second inning. Yarbrough walked none, struck out five and allowed the Yankees to reset after Saturday's 18-2 loss, when they used six relievers and a middle infielder, Pablo Reyes. Prior to Sunday's game, the Yankees called up veteran righty Carlos Carrasco and optioned reliever Yerry De los Santos to Triple-A, just to have an emergency long reliever. Entering with a 6-1 lead in the seventh, Jonathan Loaisiga gave up solo homers to Andy Pages and Max Muncy, but Devin Williams and Tim Hill closed it out.
