Yushin Yamamoto didn't drop points in seven innings to stabilize the morale of the Army, and the Dodgers won the extended game to end a four-game losing streak

When Max Muncy landed a deep outfield high-flying sacrifice to finish the game in 10 innings and the Dodgers narrowly beat the Sidewinders 4-3, he completed the foundation stone laid by Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Yushin Yamamoto turned into a losing hero, with no hits in the first six innings, allowing only three runners to go to base, and completing seven innings without conceding a point with a career-high 110 goals. Although the Sidewinders hit Tanner Scott in the ninth and tenth innings to tie the game and run a home run ahead of him, it was still a strong declaration against the opponent who had beaten him two games earlier.

"I thought he could shoot a no-hitter," Manci said, "and he had perfect ball control and he shouldn't have been able to give one point to the line." But in the end, winning is the key. "

The Dodgers desperately needed that performance to end a four-game losing streak, during which the starting pitcher had a 7.89 ERA and conceded 32 points in four games. Head coach Dave Roberts admitted: "Yoshida's performance was exactly what we needed, and he broke the limit tonight. Finger fork ball and curveball play the key, and do your best in the face of difficult playing lines. "

Yushin Yamamoto went up and down three times in the first game, ending his opponent's record of scoring in the first game in five consecutive games. It wasn't until Ketel Marte was out of the first four innings that Matt was knocked out of the right field for the first hit in the seventh inning. Via translator Yoshihiro Sonoda, Yamamoto said, "It was too difficult to finish nine innings, and I didn't think much about hitting a hit after the ball count climbed. "

The most critical moment came in seven innings, two outs, and one or third base, with Roberts insisting on a 104-pitch Yamamoto matchup with Pavin Smith. With the strikeouts achieved, Dodger Stadium thundered with joy. "He was the best choice at the time," Roberts explained, "and it wasn't about the number of balls or the number of rounds, it was about winning or losing. "

This is the second time this season that Yamamoto has not conceded a point in seven innings, and the third time in his major league career. Even if you factor in the five points lost against the Sidewinders and the Athletics' quality starters, he is still the backbone of the Dodgers' rotation full of injuries - he has lost three of the five starts in the season, and he has only six of the team's 12 games with more than six innings this season.

"He may be under pressure, but he hasn't shown any of it," commented Mancy, "and he's been consistent since the spring training." This performance is not surprising. "
