"To start, Enrique Hernandez made a great over-the-shoulder catch to save extra bases. That would end up saving a run, as Yamamoto hit the next batter, got a groundout, and then Teoscar Hernandez dropped a routine flyball to right for a two-base error that put a pair in scoring position. That costed Yamamoto two runs and 12 pitches when Sal Stewart poked the sixth pitch he saw to right for a two-run single."
"The pitching matchup between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Zack Littell was a mismatch on paper, but an early error put the Reds up. Fortunately, the Dodgers offense is clicking right now, and they quickly fought back to take the lead in the middle innings before seemingly blowing the game open. However, once again, the pen made things interesting before Roki Sasaki emphatically slammed the door shut on an 8-4 win."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto started for the Dodgers and allowed two unearned runs in the first after Teoscar Hernandez dropped a routine fly, followed by Sal Stewart’s two-run single. Yamamoto settled and threw four perfect innings with multiple strikeouts, navigating a tense sixth when he escaped a bases-loaded threat with a home play and key punchouts. The Dodgers’ offense rallied in the middle innings to take and extend the lead, putting the game out of reach. The bullpen faltered late, allowing the Reds to make it interesting, before Roki Sasaki slammed the door on an 8-4 victory.
