Max Muncy's Decisive Two-Run Home Run Powers Dodgers Past Yankees

Max Muncy played the hero in the Dodgers' 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees, crushing a decisive two-run home run off Gerrit Cole. Muncy capitalized on a hung slider in the seventh inning after Cole had successfully lobbied manager Aaron Boone to remain in the game. The blast proved to be the difference-maker in a high-stakes series opener. Boone later admitted the strategic decision to let Cole face Muncy was a mistake, stating, 'That's on me.'
