"The right-hander allowed four hits through his nine innings, letting just one run cross the plate in the bottom of the third inning. He also struck out eight batters, the second-highest tally he had throughout the postseason. He didn't allow a single walk throughout the game and managed to get through nine frames with just 105 pitches. Will Smith hit a go-ahead homer in the top of the seventh inning, ultimately making the difference for the Dodgers."
"Yamamoto made history with his outing, becoming the first player since Curt Schilling in 2001 to throw consecutive complete games in the postseason. He also became the first player since Johnny Cueto in 2015 to throw a complete game in the World Series, and the first player since Madison Bumgarner in 2014 to have multiple complete games in a single postseason."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a nine-inning complete game in Game 2 of the World Series, allowing four hits and one run while striking out eight and issuing no walks. He threw 105 pitches to secure a 2-1 Dodgers victory that evened the series and set up three games at Dodger Stadium. Will Smith delivered the decisive go-ahead home run in the seventh inning. Yamamoto's outing marked consecutive postseason complete games and put him among pitchers with World Series and multi-game postseason complete-game feats, aligning him historically with Curt Schilling, Johnny Cueto and Madison Bumgarner.
