The Yankees have the pitching advantage in their series opener against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday night. The American League Cy Young front runner, Max Fried, will take the mound for the Bombers opposite of Tony Gonsolin for the injury-riddled Dodgers. The veteran right-hander has struggled this season and will face one batter in particular who has had some big-time success against him in the past. Gonsolin has been getting knocked around in 2025, posting a 4.68 ERA while giving up 24 hits across 25 innings in five starts. He's had zero success against left-handed batters, allowing a .294 average with two home runs and three doubles in 61 plate appearances. And there's a lefty in the Yankees lineup he's had no luck stopping over the years: Trent Grisham. Starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin #26 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the first inning of the MLB game at Chase Field on May 11, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. Getty Images The ex-Padre has six hits in 14 at-bats (.429) with a home run and a double against Gonsolin. Grisham has been mashing righties all season, too, hitting .292/.376/.646 with 10 home runs amid one of the best starts of his career. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting He should get at least two, if not three or more passes at Gonsolin, hitting atop the Yankee lineup as he has since late April. Look for Grisham to have a knock, if not two, on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Juan Soto comes up with big hit for Mets after week of debate over his move across New York
NEW YORK (AP) — After a week of taking hits, Juan Soto came up with a big one. In a slump that sparked debate over whether he made the right decision to leave the Yankees for a record $765 million contract across town, Soto hit a tiebreaking, two-run double with the bases loaded that led the Mets over the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 on Saturday night. 'I don't listen to any of that. I focus on what we're doing here,' Soto said. Soto had been hitting .119 (5 for 42) with runners in scoring position, 164th among 167 qualified batters, before he drove a 2-2 pitch from Tony Gonsolin high off the right-center field wall for a 4-2 fourth-inning lead. 'I don't think he's swinging great right now and found a way to get a couple knocks tonight,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'You can see him bearing down a little bit more when guys are on base.' Soto's 399-foot drive left his bat at 108.3 mph and missed being a grand slam by about 2 feet. 'When I hit it, I was like, just don't catch it. I wasn't thinking it was going that far,' Soto said. 'When it hit the wall, it actually shocked me. I was like, I didn't know the ball was going that far.' He had one hit in his previous 24 at-bats with runners in scoring position and entered 5 for 40 with no extra-base hits and two RBIs in his last 11 games. He went 1 for 10 with four walks during his first series back in the Bronx as the Mets lost two of three last weekend. And Soto's lack of hustle on a drive off the Green Monster at Boston's Fenway Park on Monday intensified debate over his slow start and the absence of the Soto Shuffle in the batter's box. A night after the Mets lost the series opener 7-5 in 13 innings , they fell behind 2-0. Brett Baty had a run-scoring single in the second as part of a three-hit, two-RBI night. Luis Torrens singled to open the fourth. Gonsolin loaded the bases with four-pitch walks to Baty and Francisco Lindor, and Starling Marte hit a run-scoring infield single. Soto took a close 1-2 slider on the inside corner before the big hit. 'I thought I executed the slider really well there. He's got a really good eye, barely missed, but I was pleased with the execution of it,' Gonsolin said. 'The splitter, I thought it was a solid one, just elevated it.' Soto went 2 for 5 against the Dodgers, raising his average from .236 to .241 with eight homers, 23 RBIs and a .792 OPS. 'I don't know what the underlying numbers are saying, but this guy's been very unlucky,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'It was good to see him finally get the results' Fans responded to the double with a huge ovation. 'He works his butt off,' Mets starter David Peterson said. 'I think for him to be able to get that today should only give him confidence and I think every guy on this team believes in who he is as a player.' Marte was thrown out at the plate trying to score from first on Soto's hit when shortstop Mookie Betts made a quick relay to catcher Dalton Rushing of center fielder Tommy Edman's throw. Peterson matched his career high of 7 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and five hits while inducing three double-play grounders. He struck out Shohei Ohtani three times. 'I think he made it look human,' Mendoza said. ___ AP MLB:
