Yankees’ SP Gerrit Cole and LA’s starter Julio Urias both dominated, as they led their teams to Game 1 victories over CLE & SDP. Philly was the only road team to go up 1-0, as they held off Atlanta’s last inning rally in their 7-6 win. Pistons G Jaden Ivey showed his potential with a nice play in transition during the NBA preseason.
