Yoshinobu Yamamoto, only 5-foot-10, shut out the Padres for five innings, leading the Dodgers to a 2-0 victory in a high-pressure Game 5.
Dodgers owner Mark Walter praised Yamamoto for showing up despite past struggles, noting, 'Takes guts to do that when you struggle a little.'
Yamamoto attributed his redemption to teammate Kiké Hernández's support, stating, 'I think I owe my performance today to my teammates.'
Despite a shaky start in the series, Yamamoto transformed a bullpen game into a strong pitching performance at Dodger Stadium.
