Dodgers' Yamamoto Delivers Strong Start vs. Brewers
15 Aug
Summary
- Yamamoto struck out nine over six innings against the Brewers.
- The Brewers managed only one run on a sacrifice fly.
- Dodgers needed length from Yamamoto with a short bullpen.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto continued his mastery over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night, delivering a stellar performance at Dodger Stadium. He recorded nine strikeouts and allowed only a single run through six innings, guiding the Dodgers toward evening their four-game series. Despite the Brewers grinding out at-bats and driving up his pitch count early, Yamamoto became more efficient, ultimately throwing 97 pitches.
This extended outing was crucial for the Dodgers, who are in the midst of a demanding 13-game stretch with a strained seven-man bullpen. Yamamoto's reliability was key for the team. His history against the Brewers includes an iconic, complete-game performance in last year's NL Championship Series and another strong seven-inning, one-run start in Milwaukee on May 24.
