Yoshinobu Yamamoto showcased his pitching prowess in the Dodgers’ win over the Texas Rangers, outperforming the two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom. While deGrom allowed only one run over seven innings, Yamamoto pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out 10 without any walks, highlighting his elite pitching skills in only his second MLB season. Despite a slight drop in fastball velocity, Yamamoto adapted effectively by enhancing his curveball performance, proving crucial in maintaining his dominant form and supporting his early-season Cy Young candidacy.
Yamamoto had 10 strikeouts and no free passes, contrasting with deGrom's seven strikeouts and one walk, demonstrating his dominance on the mound.
Despite initial challenges this season, Yamamoto's adaptation resulted in an impressive performance, as he effectively utilized his curveball to keep the Rangers hitters off balance.
