US EditionYamamoto Throws First World Series Complete Game Since 2015 as Dodgers Beat Blue Jays 5-1 in Game 2
Yamamoto aims to pitch with precision to help Dodgers rebound after Toronto’s 11-4 Game 1 victory, seeking to support Kershaw’s final season with a championship.
- On Saturday, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start Game 2 at Rogers Centre for the Los Angeles Dodgers, focusing on the basics of pitching with the Dodgers trailing after Toronto's 11-4 Game 1 win.
- Coming off a complete-game NLCS win, Yoshinobu Yamamoto has not faced the Toronto Blue Jays lineup this year and hopes to help send Clayton Kershaw, 223-game winner, off as a back-to-back champion.
- Performance metrics — including strikeouts and pitch counts — show Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a four-hitter for his second consecutive complete game, striking out eight and walking none with 105 pitches, 73 for strikes.
- A clutch homer from Will Smith — and a follow-up by Max Muncy — broke a 1-1 tie with a seventh-inning home run and added a solo homer for the Dodgers.
- With premier arms on the bump, expect low scoring as Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Kevin Gausman keep runs at a premium, while Game 3 on Monday at Dodger Stadium will pit Max Scherzer against Tyler Glasnow.
