Yankees get completely manhandled by Dodgers in ghastly blowout loss

LOS ANGELES — Will Warren has been trying to follow in the footsteps of his veteran rotation mates like Max Fried.

The young right-hander took that a bit too literally Saturday, though he had plenty of company in what became an absolute stinker of a game for the Yankees.

After Fried got rocked Friday night, Warren did not survive the second inning as the relentless Dodgers lineup proved to be too much to handle and the Yankees got blown out in an 18-2 loss in front of 51,746 at Dodger Stadium.

Even without the injured Mookie Betts, the Dodgers (36-22) led 10-0 by the second inning on a day when they pounded out 21 hits — including five home runs — to claim the series with a chance for the sweep Sunday. It marks the first series loss the Yankees (35-22) have suffered in their last eight series.

“It hurts. It sucks. I let the team down,” said Warren, who gave up seven runs across 1 ¹/₃ innings.

“Just let [the emotions] sit there and learn to hate that feeling. Then when you take the mound in five days, you don’t want to feel that again and it’s on to the next one.”
