Chisholm went 1-for-4 with the decisive homer, a 402-foot drive to left center that produced his only RBI of the night. He struck out twice earlier in the game before connecting for his 14th home run of the season, part of a year in which he carries a .224 average with 38 RBI.
New York opened the scoring in the first inning when Bellinger singled to center and Goldschmidt scored, giving the Yankees an early lead. The Dodgers answered in the eighth when Edman homered to right center, a 387-foot shot that tied the game at 1-1. New York responded immediately in the same inning as Chisholm's homer put the Yankees back in front, 2-1, a lead they would not relinquish.
Evan Phillips took the loss for Los Angeles, allowing 1 run on 2 hits over 1.0 inning with a walk and a strikeout, his ERA now at 6.75. David Bednar earned the win for New York, working 1.2 innings without allowing a run while striking out two. Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough turned in 2.2 scoreless innings with two hits allowed, and the bullpen covered the rest of the way, with New York's relievers combining for 6.1 innings and just 1 run allowed.
The result pushed the Yankees to 55-44, second in their division, while Los Angeles fell to 63-37 atop its division. New York has now won its last game, while the Dodgers dropped their most recent decision.
