Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Mookie Betts lift Dodgers over Braves

  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Mookie Betts helped the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on May 2, 2025, at Truist Park.
  • Yamamoto’s dominant pitching, reflected by his MLB-leading 0.90 ERA and recent Pitcher of the Month award, set the tone for the Dodgers’ continuing streak.
  • Yamamoto pitched six shutout innings, giving up just a single hit and throwing 91 pitches, before Evan Phillips recorded his first save following a rain interruption lasting 73 minutes during the ninth inning.
  • Mookie Betts contributed offensively with a homer in the sixth inning, his fifth this season, and also reached base on an infield hit that advanced the first run scored by Will Smith’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
  • The Dodgers extended their winning streak to six games, with manager Dave Roberts calling Yamamoto a staff ace, suggesting the team is gaining momentum with strong pitching and timely hitting.
