Yamamoto's Postseason Brilliance Continues: Unbeaten With Run Support
7 Oct
Summary
- Yamamoto is 34-0 when receiving at least three runs of support.
- He set a postseason career-high with 10 strikeouts.
- Yamamoto became the first pitcher with five straight postseason wins without allowing a run or walk.
Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar performance in Game 3 of the NLDS, overpowering the Braves with a postseason career-high 10 strikeouts. He pitched seven innings, allowing only one run and one walk in the Dodgers' 3-1 victory at Truist Park.
Yamamoto achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first pitcher in MLB history to win five consecutive postseason appearances without conceding more than one run or one walk in any of those starts. Notably, all five of these victories occurred on the road, showcasing his dominance in high-pressure environments.
The 34-0 record (including postseason) when his team scores at least three runs of support further highlights his reliability. The Braves managed their lone run in the fifth inning but couldn't overcome Yamamoto's prowess.
This win puts the Dodgers one step closer to another NLCS appearance as they continue their quest for a third consecutive World Series title.
