Dodgers rout: LA scores most runs ever in a game against New York
Max Muncy hit two three-run homers and tied his career high with seven RBIs, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rout Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees 18-2 on Saturday.
The Dodgers pounded out a season-high 21 hits and their runs were their most ever against the Yankees, whose only runs came on Judge's 20th and 21st homers. Los Angeles set a record for runs by a National League team against the Yankees.
The Dodgers batted around in the first two innings, pummeling Yankees starter Will Warren (3-3). He needed 39 pitches in the first when the Dodgers led 4-0 on RBI singles by Will Smith and Muncy, a sacrifice fly by Michael Conforto and Tommy Edman's RBI double.
Los Angeles was just getting started.
Muncy's 400-foot blast in the second was his 200th career homer and chased Warren.
Edman had a RBI double and Kim followed with his second career homer, a 412-foot shot with two outs off Brent Headrick that made it 10-0. He and Shohei Ohtani, waiting to bat, bowed their heads to each other after Kim scored.
Muncy went deep off Mark Leiter Jr. with a 410-foot shot in the fifth and Andy Pages added a solo shot in the seventh. Rookie Dalton Rushing had his first major-league homer, a 3-run shot off position player Pablo Reyes in the eighth.

The Dodgers successfully challenged the out call. In the seventh, Judge singled to center but was thrown out stretching to second on Pages' throw to Edman. Key stat
The Dodgers have outscored the Yankees 26-7 in the first two games of their World Series rematch. They beat New York in five games last year for their eighth world championship. Up next

Yankees' Judge shares candid moments about fame and focus
Yankees' Judge shares candid moments about fame and focus originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It had been a few months since I'd last seen Aaron Judge, my last day on the Yankees beat, in the Yankees clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. It was about 1:30 in the morning after the Yankees had just lost the 2022 American League Championship Series to the Astros. Judge — then a free agent — was shaking hands and saying goodbye to a long line of people. Advertisement Fast-forward four months. Early one morning on the street, I spotted a tall figure at the edge of a crowd. His hoodie pulled low, and I didn't recognize him at first. Then I did a double take. The way he moved, the height—something clicked. When he turned my way, I realized it was Judge. He did a double take, too. Judge smiled and then looked around to see if his cover was blown. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron JudgeCary Edmondson-Imagn Images I understood he was trying to quietly support his wife at an event without drawing attention. I smiled back, nodded, and looked away. But the buzz around me was growing. 'Is that…?' 'He's in town, looks like…' 'IT'S AARON JUDGE!' Advertisement Within minutes, pictures of Judge were going viral on social media, tipping off fans around him. He left quietly to find another spot to wait. It was awkward and uncomfortable, maybe even a little scary. That's the reality for a guy like Judge. Speaking recently to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Judge dove into it a little bit. He explained what his life is like on the road. 'I think if I was a little shorter, if you just give me 6-foot-1, 6-2,' Judge said, 'I could blend in a little bit. Throw on a Yankee cap and we can go. It's the height. The first thing they think when they see me, they think basketball player. And then they put two-and-two together.' Playing for the Yankees means people recognize him and cheer him on wherever he goes. Advertisement 'That's why I don't leave the hotel for the most part. I got a job to do on the road. I try not to explore too much. I can do that when I retire and check out these cities.' So now, Judge gets to go back home to New York City. The Yankees wrapped up their West Coast road trip Sunday night. He's back to the city where he can walk his dogs in peace and get out to the places where the people knew him before he became the face of the franchise.

After missing nearly a month with a rib injury, Yankees prospect Spencer Jones has returned to Double-A Somerset and wasted no time making an impact.

Cam Schlittler (4-5, Eastern League's fourth-best 2.38 ERA) gave up four hits and struck out six over five shutout innings against Akron on Sunday.

Yankees Waive Veteran Starter Amid Injury News: Report
Yankees Waive Veteran Starter Amid Injury News: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees continued to shift around their pitching depth on June 2, as reported news of veteran starter Carlos Carrasco hitting waivers again surfaced on X. Advertisement Carrasco only rejoined the Yankees' active roster on June 1, as the Pinstripes elected to call him back up after exhausting much of their bullpen on Saturday. The Yankees did not end up needing Carrasco for the Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers, meaning he will not take the mound during his latest brief stint in the majors. Veteran starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco pitches for the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in Carchietta-Imagn Images New York Post insider Joel Sherman reported the Carrasco news on Monday, and he added that this move hints at an injury returnee being activated in his place. "Source: Not unexpectedly, Carlos Carrasco was with the Yankees for just 1 day as pitching depth protection and was placed on outright waivers," Sherman relayed. "With no unexpected setbacks, the NYY were lined up to activate Fernando Cruz from the IL on Tuesday." Advertisement Getting Cruz back will be key for the Yankees' bullpen going forward. Before his injury, Cruz maintained a 2.66 ERA over the first 21 appearances of his 2025 campaign and Yankees tenure. The 35-year-old reliever also struck out a ridiculous 35 batters in just 23.2 innings pitched, yielding a strikeouts per nine average of 13.3. Of course, with Yankees closer Luke Weaver suffering a hamstring injury while stretching on Sunday night, according to manager Aaron Boone, Cruz's return could be even more vital over the next few games. It's currently unclear if Weaver will require a stint on the injured list. As of now, it seems Weaver was pulled from entering the game on Sunday out of precaution, but we'll wait and see if there's more to this injury.
