Giants @ Dodgers May 12, 2026: Yamamoto looks to play stopper as Dodgers look to snap three-game skid - Dodgers Digest
"The Dodgers dropped their third straight game last night and did something they haven't done since the McCourt era.

Yamamoto allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases with no outs in that game, and then gave up another single, sac fly and another single for a three-run frame. He only allowed two hits and a walk for the rest of his seven innings. His last start came last Monday, so hopefully the seven days' rest helps reset Yamamoto to snap this un-ace-like stretch."
"Adrian Houser makes his eighth start of the season for the Giants. He's posted a 6.19 ERA/5.57 FIP over 36 1/3 innings and the Giants are only 1-6 when he starts. Houser's first start of the season came against the Padres and his most "
