The game was shaped by an early Yankees surge, as New York turned the opening inning into a lead it would not relinquish in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ben Rice set the tone with a walk that brought Paul Goldschmidt home, then later homered to keep the offense moving. George Lombard Jr. added a strong all-around contribution, including a home run and a key early hit that brought home Ben Rice and Amed Rosario.
Rice's walk put New York in front in the first. Cody Bellinger scored on Amed Rosario's single, and George Lombard Jr.'s single brought Rice and Rosario across. Corbin Carroll answered with a home run for Arizona, but Rice's homer in the third and Lombard's homer in the sixth extended the Yankees' advantage. New York added insurance in the seventh when Paul Goldschmidt scored after Ryan McMahon reached on a throwing error by Pavin Smith, followed by Heliot Ramos scoring on Spencer Jones' force out.
Gerrit Cole kept Arizona from building on Carroll's homer, while Eduardo Rodriguez was charged with the early damage for the Diamondbacks. Arizona's offense had no answer after the second inning.
The Yankees' one-inning burst defined the night, leaving Arizona searching for a response that never came.
