NEW YORK -- Fans loudly chanted the names of starters in the first inning, waiting for each to acknowledge the salute. Only it was a contingent of Los Angeles Dodgers fans in the left-field corner, not the Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creatures.Its always fun when you hear that call go through everybody, Dodgers rookie Corey Seager said. Thats always exciting. It was cool.Seager singled twice and drove in a run on the former field of his childhood hero, Derek Jeter, and fellow rookie Jose De Leon won in his second big league start to help the NL West-leading Dodgers beat the AL wild-card chasing Yankees 8-2 in Mondays series opener.Los Angeles (81-62) reopened a four-game lead over second-place San Francisco, which lost to San Diego. After the game, the Dodgers saluted their traveling fans.That energy picked us up a lot, manager Dave Roberts said. We might have caught the Yankees fans off-guard a little bit.Dodgers fans unfurled a large blue-and-white LA banner over their heads in the manner of soccer supporters in the third, prompting boos from the majority of the crowd of 32,058, and they raised a second banner during the seventh-inning stretch. The group calls itself Pantone 294 -- named after the Dodgers official color -- and arrived from the West Coast on six flights, according to its website.Seager said a Roll Call isnt as effective at Dodger Stadium, known for late-arriving fans battling traffic.It doesnt always work at home, he said. They kind of stopped halfway through, but that one was loud.De Leon (2-0), a 24-year-old right-hander from Puerto Rico, beat San Diego at home on Sept. 4 in big league debut, the 15th starting pitcher used by the Dodgers this season. A Boston Red Sox fan in his youth, De Leon allowed two runs and three hits in five innings.It was electric, everything I expected, he said. I was actually a little more nervous than I was in LA. Since I grew up a Red Sox fan I really wanted to beat the Yankees.Aaron Judge dropped Chase Utleys fly ball to the right-field warning track in the second and catcher Gary Sanchez threw wildly to second base in the third, the errors leading to four unearned runs and a 6-1 lead. Yasiel Puig pinch hit in the eighth and drove an opposite-field home run over the right-field short porch, and Justin Turner homered to nearly the same spot in the ninth, his 27th this season.Dodgers-Yankees is among baseballs most prestigious interleague matchups, with New York winning eight of 11 World Series meetings. The Dodgers, who left Brooklyn for Los Angeles after the 1957 season, made their only prior regular-season trip to Yankee Stadium in 2013, splitting a doubleheader.Seager remembered all the times Jeter was saluted in the Roll Call.I see it from both sides, he said. As a fan you dont like seeing the other team do it, but being out there and your team doing it is also really cool. So Im kind of stuck in the middle on that one.THAT STEALRoberts was at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the 2004 AL Championship Series at the old ballpark. With the Yankees ahead 3-0 in the series and leading Boston 4-3 in the ninth inning of Game 4 at Fenway Park, Roberts pinch ran and stole second. Bill Mueller following with a tying single off Mariano Rivera, the Red Sox won in 12 innings and went on to take the pennant. Im not well received at the airport when I make my way into New York-LaGuardia, JFK, Roberts said.PLATE ROTATIONAdrian Gonzalez was the Dodgers DH, and Andre Ethier and Turner are scheduled for DH days during the remainder of the series.HES BACKPuig has three homers in 14 at-bats since his return from the minors.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Rich Hill, removed from Saturdays start at Miami after seven perfect innings and 89 pitches, is to start Thursdays series opener at Arizona. Roberts took Hill out for fear a blister issue on his pitching hand could recur.UP NEXTLHP Julio Urias (5-3) starts for the Dodgers on Tuesday and LHP CC Sabathia (8-12) for the Yankees. Urias, 20, is 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA in his last five games (four starts). He lasted just 2 2/3 innings in his big league debut at Citi Field in May.

Adelaide coach Don Pyke says his side will go into the AFL finals battle-hardened after a bruising 15-point win over rivals Port Adelaide.The Crows withstood a late surge from Port to claim a 15.19 (109) to 14.10 (94) win at Adelaide Oval and climb to second on the ladder.Both sides had predicted Saturdays Showdown would be a fierce encounter despite the distance between the Crows and 11th-placed Power on the ladder.The game lived up to the hype and in the end it was only Adelaides potent forward line that proved the difference, with late goals to Josh Jenkins, Mitch McGovern and Eddie Betts sealing the win.It was a far cry from the Crows three previous outings - against Fremantle, Brisbane and Essendon - which they won by a combined 292 points.With Adelaide facing a six-day break before a final-round clash with West Coast on Friday, Pyke said he was pleased to see his players physically tested.For us it was, in some respects, a really good game to have based on the previous three games which have been comfortable wins, he said.Tonights game and next weeks game will give us a really goood lead-in (to the finals).ddddddddddddWest Coast have been in hot form, dispatching of premiership contenders Hawthorn and Greater Western Sydney in successive weeks, but will go into the clash at Adelaide Oval without star ruckman Nic Naitanui after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.Pyke, who was an assistant coach with the Eagles before taking a senior role with Adelaide this year, said he was sad to see Naitanui injured.I know having worked with Nic the last couple of years hes a terrific guy, and its always disappointing when you see the best players in the league get injured, Pyke said.Clearly its going to be a big out for West Coast but he was out for a number of weeks in the middle of the season so I expect theyll adjust around that with (Scott) Lycett or theyll bring (Jonathan) Giles in.Crows defender Brodie Smith, who was concussed after copping an accidental foot to the head from Ports Aaron Young, will be assessed during the week, Pyke said.
