Max Muncy hit two home runs and tied a career high with seven RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers scored 10 runs in the first two innings and rolled to an 18-2 victory over the visiting New York Yankees on Saturday to take the opening two games of a World Series rematch.
Rookies Hyeseong Kim and Dalton Rushing added home runs as the Dodgers continued to give the Yankees fits after winning four of five World Series games last fall. The Dodgers finished with a season-high 21 hits.
Dodgers starter Landon Knack (3-2) gave up one run on five hits in six innings with three walks and six strikeouts. Freddie Freeman had two hits, finishing with a .410 batting average in May. He's hitting .374 on the season.
Aaron Judge hit two home runs for the Yankees, who have lost consecutive games for the first time since a three-game losing streak May 3-5. Judge has three home runs in the first two games of the series.
New York rookie right-hander Will Warren (3-3) was crushed for a season-high seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. The Yankees gave up a season high in runs and allowed double-digits for the third time.
After rallying to win the series opener 8-5 on Friday, Los Angeles took control in short order Saturday when Will Smith and Muncy had RBI singles for an early 2-0 lead. Michael Conforto had a sacrifice fly, followed by a Tommy Edman RBI double, for a 4-0 first-inning advantage.
The Dodgers blew open the game in the second inning. Muncy hit a three-run home run off Warren, while Edman had another RBI double and Kim hit a two-run home run against Brent Headrick.
Judge hit a home run in the fourth inning off Knack and another in the eighth off Chris Stratton. His 21 home runs are one off the MLB lead, held by the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani and the Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh.
Muncy hit a three-run home run off the right-field foul pole in the fifth inning, his sixth. Andy Pages hit a home run in the seventh and Rushing added his first career homer in the eighth.
