Aaron Judge leads the Yankees’ charge in the World Series rematch against the Dodgers, smashing an early home run in this star-studded clash.

LOS ANGELES — Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani did not take long to give the sport what it craved. The sluggers traded towering home runs in the first inning Friday night at Dodger Stadium, marking the first time in MLB history that both reigning MVPs homered in the first inning of the same game, according to Stats Perform.

The New York Yankees have championship aspirations this year after losing in the World Series in 2024, but some players have underperformed.

The Yankees have yet to find a good answer for their third base question, but a new trade proposal puts a former top prospect in their sights.

Dodgers star Mookie Betts was reminded of this the hard way. The eight-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion was a late scratch from the lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Yankees after injuring his left toe.

Cody Bellinger ’s career highlight so far was winning a World Series and earning MVP honors with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But as the Yankees gear up to return to Dodger Stadium this weekend, his dad, Clay Bellinger, says there’s something bigger at stake now for the family. Winning it all while wearing the pinstripes.
