"Yamamoto retired the last 20 batters he faced during the game, leading the Dodgers to an all-important Game 2 win to even up the series before they head back to Los Angeles. The Dodgers play the next three games at Dodger Stadium, and will look to take their first lead of the series behind a Tyler Glasnow start in Game 3, which comes Monday, Oct. 26 at 5:00 p.m. PT."
""After that first inning, I was thinking six," Roberts said. "I felt he would find a way to get through six. It's an aggressive swinging team. I thought the stuff was good, so I felt that he could manage to get through six. Then the pitch count kind of stayed where it needed to stay. And then for me, I just didn't see anything fall off as far as his delivery and the execution.""
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a complete nine-inning, one-run game with eight strikeouts while throwing 105 pitches in Game 2. He endured a high early pitch count, throwing 23 pitches in the first inning and reaching 46 by the end of the third, which made a midgame exit seem likely. Yamamoto said he did not expect to finish the game because the pitch count climbed quickly, but expressed happiness and pride at contributing to the win. Manager Dave Roberts expected a six-inning outing initially but kept Yamamoto in as delivery and execution held steady.
