Max Muncy crushed a two-run homer in the 7th inning — his 18th of the season — to seal a 2-1 Dodgers win over the Yankees in the Bronx, marking their first meeting since the Dodgers’ World Series triumph last year. Gerrit Cole, on his final pitch of the night, couldn’t stop the blast. The Dodgers, now 62-36 and atop the MLB standings, kept rolling while the Yankees (54-43) stumbled without Aaron Judge, who’s sidelined with a fractured rib. A hazy, smoke-filled night saw the Yankees score an unearned run on a dropped ball and passed ball, but the Dodgers’ defense, including a clutch 13th outfield assist, shut down a late rally.
