Yoshinobu Yamamoto Flirts With Perfect Game in Win Over White Sox
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto was nearly unhittable on Saturday in the team's 7-1 win over the hosting Chicago White Sox. Yamamoto took a perfect game into the eighth inning and a no-hitter into the final frame. A Mookie Betts error with two outs in the eighth inning broke up the perfect game, and Tristan Peters broke up the no-no in the ninth with a solo home run to lead off the frame. Yamamoto still had an excellent line in his seventh win of the season, giving up just one earned run on one hit while walking none and striking out seven to lower his season ERA to 2.52. The 27-year-old Japanese native had an incredible run of retiring 45 straight batters, dating back to his previous start, which is second in MLB history to Yusmeiro Petit. Yamamoto has carried over his dominance from last year and now has a 0.84 WHIP with 80 strikeouts and 15 walks in 85 2/3 innings across his 13 starts. He has won four straight games and hasn't given up more than one run in five straight appearances. Continue to run Yamamoto out there as a must-start in fantasy leagues.
