"Yamamoto earned a win in all three of the games he featured in during the World Series, throwing 17.2 innings and allowing just two runs during his outings. His first appearance in the Fall Classic came in Game 2, where he delivered an all-important win after the Dodgers fell behind following a Game 1 loss. He made his second start in Game 6, where he threw 96 pitches during his start in a Dodgers win to even the series once again."
"Yamamoto had a historic postseason altogether, tying the record for wins in a single postseason with five. He pitched 37.1 innings throughout the playoffs, which were the most since Madison Bumgarner in 2014. Additionally, the 27-year-old threw consecutive complete games in the playoffs, which hadn't been done since Curt Schilling in 2001. He also became the first pitcher since Bumgarner to throw multiple complete games in a single postseason, and the first since Johnny Cueto in 2015 to throw a complete game"

He recorded consecutive complete games and became the first pitcher since Bumgarner to log multiple complete games in one postseason.
