NEW YORK (AP) — Teoscar Hernández reached second base, raised both hands, shimmied and twisted his right leg in a dance step that would make a Broadway choreographer proud.
With the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees scoreless into the 11th inning of a possible World Series preview that featured five Most Valuable Players, he had broken the deadlock with a two-run double.
“It feels like the playoffs today. I like to play in this atmosphere,” Hernández said after the Dodgers' 2-1 win on Friday night stopped the Yankees' season-high, eight-game winning streak.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball in his Yankee Stadium debut, his velocity reaching a season high in the finest of his dozen Dodgers starts.
