"Thankfully, the Dodgers had Yoshinobu Yamamoto going, and he skipped the bullpen for the second game in a row with a complete game effort that limited the Blue Jays to one run and ended with 20 in a row retired. Just utter domination. The Dodgers were struggling offensively, but late homers by and - plus some good fortune for insurance - led to a 5-1 victory."
"Things started better for the offense, as after two deep flyouts to the corners, Freddie Freeman hooked a double down the line and Will Smith followed with a single to plate the run and make it 1-0. Unfortunately, Teoscar Hernandez struck out to end the 1st, and that started a string of 16 in a row retired through the 6th."
"Things started with immediate stress, as he left an 0-2 fastball over the heart of the plate and George Springer ripped it for a double. Nathan Lukes followed by blooping a single over short to corner the runners and it was trouble early. Fortunately, Yamamoto rebounded by getting a strikeout of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., got Alejandro Kirk to poke a lineout to Freddie, and also struck out Daulton Varsho to keep the zero intact."
The Dodgers secured a 5-1 victory in World Series Game 2 behind a dominant complete game from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who retired the final 20 batters. Kevin Gausman allowed an early run as Freddie Freeman doubled and Will Smith singled to make it 1-0, but the Blue Jays then saw 16 consecutive batters retired through the sixth inning. Yamamoto faced early trouble with a Springer double and Lukes single but rebounded with strikeouts and timely outs to preserve a shutout through most of the game. Late Dodgers homers and an insurance run sealed the win.
