LOS ANGELES — Will Warren had said he was “excited” to face what has been a fearsome 2025 Dodgers lineup.

After some rough going early in the season, the 25-year-old righthander appeared to have figured some things out in the last month.

“It’s cool to go out there and see where we stack up,” Warren said of testing his emerging stuff against the Dodgers — in prime time and on national television, no less.

On this Saturday night, it did not stack up well.

Nor, as was the case last October in the World Series, did the Yankees against the Dodgers.

Warren allowed seven runs in 1 1⁄3 innings as the Yankees were blown out, 18-2, in front of a sellout crowd of 51,746 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night.

“It hurts. It sucks. I let the team down,” Warren said.

Aaron Judge did hit two home runs — Nos. 20 and 21 — and had three hits to lift his batting average to .398, but that concluded the highlight portion of the day for the Yankees. The Dodgers hit five home runs, two by Max Muncy (seven RBIs), and five doubles in pounding 21 hits.

The Yankees (35-22), beaten in five games by the Dodgers in the World Series, have been outscored 26-7 in the first two games of the series (24-2 after the third inning Friday night). The Dodgers (36-22) entered the series the highest-scoring team in the majors (336 runs),

“I mean, they’re tough and obviously they’ve swung it here good against us the last two nights,” Aaron Boone said. “We have another opportunity [Sunday night] to go out there and try to hold them down a little bit.”

Yankees infielder Pablo Reyes mopped up in the eighth, allowing three runs and five hits, including a three-run homer by Dalton Rushing.

With the score 18-2 in the ninth, Dodgers utilityman Enrique Hernandez allowed a leadoff double by Jasson Dominguez before retiring Oswald Peraza, Austin Wells and DJ LeMahieu to end it.

Warren, 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA in his previous four starts, saw 10 Dodgers come to the plate in a nightmarish four-run first in which he threw 39 pitches. He then retired all of one batter in what would be a six-run second that gave Los Angeles a 10-0 lead.

“Left balls over the heart of the plate, didn’t get ahead, and they capitalized,” said Warren (3-3, 5.19), who allowed six hits and four walks. “Good team. When you make mistakes, they’re magnified. I was on my heels . . . I talk about executing and being aggressive in the zone, and today it didn’t go that way for me and they took advantage of that . . . They’re good, but at the end of the day, I think if we execute and I attack in the zone and get ahead, I think we have success. Today that didn’t happen.”

Muncy, the last batter Warren faced, hit the first of his two three-run homers to make it 7-0. Lefthander Brent Headrick replaced Warren and allowed an RBI double by Tommy Edman and a two-run homer by Hyeseong Kim that made it 10-0, more or less turning the final seven innings into garbage time.

Edman and Kim each had four hits and Muncy added three.

The first of Judge’s homers, a 404-foot shot to the bleachers in leftfield in the fourth inning, brought the Yankees within 10-1. His 425-foot blast to centerfield in the eighth made it 15-2.

In the two games, reigning American League MVP Judge has gone 5-for-9 with three solo homers. Reigning National League MVP Shohei Ohtani has gone 4-for-9 with two solo homers and is tied with Seattle’s Cal Raleigh for the MLB lead with 22 homers, one more than Judge.

After Judge’s second homer, Reyes came on for the Yankees, with the “righthander” allowing consecutive singles before Rushing hit a three-run homer for an 18-2 lead. Reyes’ first pitch to Edman came in at 42.2 mph. Rushing’s homer came on a 73.3-mph “changeup,” according to MLB.com.

“They did a good job of just continuing to add on,” said Cody Bellinger, who played for the Dodgers from 2017-22 and won the NL MVP with them in 2019. “It’s always tough, but it’s one you’re just going to forget about and move on to the next one . . . Definitely a tough two games here, but we haven’t lost confidence in the group of guys here. Only thing we can do is get out here tomorrow and do everything we can to win.”
