"The Los Angeles Dodgers hit four home runs and Yoshinobu Yamamoto turned in another stellar outing to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 8-0, and clinch the National League West division title in the process. Freddie Freeman started the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning to put them up 1-0. Andy Pages then made it back-to-back with a solo shot of his own."
"The Dodgers then built a rally as Michael Conforto walked, Kiké Hernández singled and Dalton Rushing reached on an error to load the bases. Mookie Betts then singled home two more runs to double the Dodgers' lead to 4-0. After a double from Hernández in the fourth inning, Shohei Ohtani blasted his 54th homer of the season, putting the Dodgers up 6-0."
"That offensive outburst proved to be more than enough as Yamamoto once again proved his status as one of MLB's best pitchers. Yamamoto pitched six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and adding seven strikeouts against two walks. The D-Backs threatened against Yamamoto in the third inning when they put two runners on with one out, but the right-hander forced a fly out and ground out to end the inning."
