For the first time this year, Yushin Yamamoto admitted that he was inaccurate in possession and swallowed his third defeat in his first career in five days

MLB Major League Baseball Los Angeles Dodger Japanese pitcher Yushin Yamamoto started the pitch for the first time this season with only five days of rest, but he didn't expect to be hit by a slam for the first time in his career. In the first three innings, Nobu Nakayama kept the pitch safe, but in the fourth inning, a succession of deliveries, hits, and touches formed a full base situation, and then Gabriel Moreno knocked out a slam cannon, which was also his own first hit of the season, and in the fifth inning, Ketel Marte knocked out a spring cannon, which is interestingly also Marte's first hit of the season.

In the end, Yushin Yamamoto threw 5 innings today, shot a total of 88 balls and exited, was knocked out of 6 hits, including 2 home runs, a total of 5 points were scored by home runs, and all were self-blame points, and 4 strikeouts and 1 escort, and finally swallowed the third loss of the season, and the defense rate increased from 0.90 to 1.80 after the game, giving up the throne of the major league defense rate to the Japanese pitcher Chiga Tsudai of the New York Mets.

After the game, Yushin Yamamoto admitted that he was not in the best form today, because of the excellent guidance of the catcher to barely survive the five innings, for the two home runs, Yamamoto thought that the hitter himself was very good, he reviewed himself, "The half inning that lost points had a guarantee and a touch, these were very basic mistakes, which eventually led to a fatal blow, which made me feel very regretful."

Yamamoto's slider formed a touch ball, and he explained, "The original goal was to throw it into the outside corner, because the hitter has the ability to sink with a bat, so he was very careful not to let the ball go into the inside corner, but it didn't go as expected, and the ball slid into the inside corner, and it turned into a touch ball."

Dodgers head coach Dave Roberts also pointed out that Yamamoto's failure to take advantage of the key ball count was the main cause of the collapse, "If he could have made a good shot against Smith with a 2 good and 3 bad, or avoided a touch ball with a 2 good and 0 bad lead against Eugenio Suárez, this game or even the whole game could have been very different."

This match was also the first time this season that Yamamoto adopted a "one-day-off-five" rotation rhythm, and there was concern about whether it would affect his performance, but he firmly denied it and believed that there was no problem at all.
