Yamamoto sharp after rocky debut; Dodgers lose
Briefly

"Yamamoto's debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers... lasted only one inning... casting early doubt on Yamamoto's ability to transition to the world's most advanced baseball league in the United States."
"Yamamoto, making his second start nine days after a nightmare opener... kept the St. Louis Cardinals scoreless through five mostly dominant innings."
"Yamamoto, speaking through an interpreter, said he felt like he 'had my stuff back.' He added that he didn't make many adjustments heading in but was simply 'calm today.'"
"Dodgers assistant pitching coach Connor McGuiness said of the struggles around his first start: 'You hate to admit it or say it, but I think it was more nerves than anything.'"
