DJ Stewart hit a solo home run, and an error from Will Smith turned into another run. Yamamoto struggled to retire hitters with two strikes on them in the second and third innings.
Yamamoto pitched three consecutive scoreless innings after the early struggle, completing six innings for the first time in his career. He alternates between fantastic and struggling innings throughout the year.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts highlighted the importance of getting ahead in the count and sequencing pitches effectively for Yamamoto's success. Yamamoto's struggles are seen as part of the learning curve for a young pitcher in a new environment.
