"I thought he deserved a chance to get a no-hitter. I felt the guys were feeling it for him, were pulling for him, and I wanted it bad for him. I did. Once he gave up that home run, and that was still a pretty good pitch, then you've given up the shutout, the no-hitter. For me, I felt that we pushed him far enough. So we've got to be able to get one out. We've just got to be able to get one out."
"Yamamoto was through seven no-hit innings on 95 pitches. To that point in the game the Orioles' only baserunners were a pair of walks with nobody out in the third inning. Yamamoto needed just nine pitches to retire the side in the eighth inning. That put Yamamoto at 104 pitches when he took the mound in the bottom of the ninth."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominated through eight innings, taking a no-hitter into the ninth and reaching a career-high 112 pitches. Jackson Holliday broke the no-hit bid with a two-out solo home run in the ninth, ending the shutout and streak. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts removed Yamamoto after the homer, expecting the bullpen to secure one final out, but Blake Treinen struggled with command and Tanner Scott allowed a walk-off hit, completing an improbable Orioles comeback. The loss extended the Dodgers' losing skid amid earlier struggles, including being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
