sacrifice fly

Lux tied the game with a sacrifice fly and Betts won it with another while Ohtani settled for reaching base on a catcher’s interference call, but the sequence in the on-deck circle was nonetheless revealing.

Stanton's sacrifice fly in the sixth edged the Yankees in front again, but the Dodgers hit back in the eighth with two sacrifice flies of their own to lead 7-6.

The hosts broke the deadlock in the bottom of the fifth inning as Enrique Hernandez, only the second Dodger to get on base by that stage, raced home on a sacrifice fly by Will Smith.

The Mets then squandered another chance in the top of the seventh, scoring only once — on a Francisco Alvarez sacrifice fly — after having runners on the corners with one out against Daniel Hudson.

He gave up one run in the first, after a couple of bloop singles and a sacrifice fly.
