With AL MVP Aaron Judge sidelined after injuring his foot on Saturday, the Yankees got strong pitching and were able to use a little bit of small ball to beat the Dodgers on Sunday and take two of three games in the weekend series.
Clay Holmes pitched one inning to pick up the win, and Wandy Peralta got the last four outs for his fourth save.
Germán went 6 2/3 innings and allowed one run and four hits, including Martinez's solo shot to tie it at 1-all in the seventh. The right-hander has limited opponents to one run or fewer in four of his last six starts. After Martinez's homer, the Yankees retook the lead in the eighth against Evan Phillips . Oswaldo Cabrera drove in Anthony Rizzo with the go-ahead run with a slow roller that second baseman Miguel Vargas could only throw to first.
"I don't think they had a chance on both balls. The base runners had such a good jump. They were jam shots," Roberts said."There were a lot of things we did as far as giving away a couple bases on the defensive side."
