Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto had another impressive performance against the Toronto Blue Jays, leading his team to a 4–1 victory at Rogers Centre.
According to MLB, Yamamoto, who faced criticism from the home crowd, had six strikeouts over six innings, allowing just one run on five hits.
Manager Dave Roberts said before the game, “This guy is a winner and has shown he will do anything to win. It’s part of his DNA.”
Facing Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman in a rematch of their previous high-stakes meetings, Yamamoto set the tone early.
Toronto’s best opportunity came in the sixth inning, when George Springer hit an RBI double and Daulton Varsho drew a walk.
However, Yamamoto limited the damage, allowing only one run on groundouts and an escape.
He returned for the seventh inning but was replaced with runners on base. Reliever Alex Vescia managed to avoid a bases-loaded situation to preserve the Dodgers’ lead.
