Overview

  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw seven innings with 10 strikeouts and one run allowed at Oracle Park, but the Dodgers lost 5-1 in 10 innings after Tanner Scott yielded three runs.
  • The right-hander has logged three straight starts of at least seven innings and 10 strikeouts, matching a Clayton Kershaw 2017 feat, yet he has no wins over that stretch.
  • Yamamoto now sits at 162 1/3 innings with a 2.66 ERA and 187 strikeouts, reaching the qualifying threshold for league leaderboards for the first time as a Dodger.
  • Los Angeles has effectively run a six-man turn with strong results in recent games, as starters have worked deep and limited runs to support workload goals.
  • Tanner Scott’s recent high-leverage struggles, including a walk-off grand slam and 11 home runs allowed this season, compound concerns while Roki Sasaki will make another Triple-A rehab start due to a calf issue.
