Boone faults himself for leaving in Cole, who gives up go-ahead homer to Muncy in Dodgers' win‎

Gerrit Cole had just walked Mookie Betts leading off the seventh inning with the Yankees leading by one run when Aaron Boone walked slowly to the mound. After an eight-second conversation, the New York manager left in his ace. Seven pitches later, Max Muncy drove a hanging slider into the right-field second deck, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-1 victory Friday night in their first game back in the Bronx since winning the first of consecutive World Series titles in 2024.
