After splitting the first two games, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees fittingly conclude Players Weekend and their highly-anticipated series with a rubber match at Dodger Stadium that will be televised nationally as the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball telecast.
While the storied rivals have one win apiece thus far, they’ve come in wildly contrasting games. The Yankees slugged five home runs in a rout on Friday, and the Dodgers bounced back with a 2-1 victory that required Kenley Jansen to strand the bases loaded.
Clayton Kershaw now takes the mound as L.A. looks to clinch a series win and add more distance between themselves and New York for the best record in baseball.
