After a blowout in their Players Weekend series opener, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers played a thriller on Saturday afternoon. Justin Turner’s home run in the third inning held as the difference for the Dodgers as they took a 2-1 lead into the ninth.
After Joe Kelly and Pedro Baez combined for three scoreless innings, the baton was passed to Kenley Jansen for his first appearance since blowing a save and being booed off the field at Dodger Stadium.
He was gifted an out when DiDi Gregorious twice bunted foul, with his second attempt resulting in a strikeout to begin the inning.
