California Post Dodgers reporters Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez recap a grueling doubleheader against the Yankees from the press box at Yankee Stadium.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivers a 9-inning complete game gem in the opener, but all alarm bells sound after Dave Roberts scratches Shohei Ohtani from his scheduled Wednesday start due to persistent left knee irritation following a lubricant injection.
In our Dodgers podcast, the guys debate whether Roberts is spinning Ohtani’s knee severity, revisit the star pitcher’s 2019 bipartite patella surgery history, and clash over whether the “Billion-Dollar Dodgers” must pivot aggressively to buy frontline starting pitching at the trade deadline.
Plus, Roki Sasaki touches 102 MPH in an anger-fueled outing with an oversized anti-tipping glove, Yamamoto makes his Cy Young case, a brutal city debate pits New York against Chicago, and Dylan suffers an embarrassing trivia meltdown over Greg Maddux.
