Paxton outduels Ryu as Yankees win opener

LOS ANGELES — The Yankees had a series to forget in Oakland but just like that, all is forgotten. In what many consider a possible World Series preview, the Yankees dominated their series opener with the Dodgers, 10-2, in Los Angeles.

James Paxton turned in arguably his best start of 2019, giving up just two runs on five hits in 6.2 strong innings. He also struckout 11 Dodgers in just purely a dominant start from the Big Maple.

More performances like this will quickly quell the large amount of question marks surrounding the Yankees’ starting rotation as they head into the stretch run.
