"Yoshinobu Yamamoto began his start by retiring the first eight batters faced and he was staked a 1-0 lead in the process. His early bid for a perfect game ended when Eric Haase's solo homer tied it. The home run was the first of the season for the Giants' backup catcher and No. 9 hitter."
"Yamamoto ran into more trouble with the bottom of the Giants lineup when Harrison Bader pulled a hanging splitter into the seats for a game-tying solo home run. Haase followed that by jumping on first-pitch fastball for a second homer in the game to give the Giants a 3-2 lead."
"Up to that point, Yamamoto had held the first seven batters in the Giants lineup to just 1-for-14 with five strikeouts. But Bader and Haase were a combined 3-for-4 with three home runs. Bader's home run came in just his second game back from the injured list after missing one month."
"Tuesday's start was the first time in Yamamoto's career he surrendered three home runs in a single game. Haase became the first player to hit multiple homers off Yamamoto in one start. Haase also became the first Giants player with a multi-home run game at Dodger Stadium since David Villar on Sept. 7, 2022."
The Giants defeated the Dodgers 6-2 at Dodger Stadium, extending Los Angeles’ losing streak to four games. The loss moved the Dodgers to within a half-game of the San Diego Padres for first place in the National League West. Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired the first eight batters and held a 1-0 lead, but Eric Haase hit a solo home run to tie the game. Harrison Bader then hit a game-tying solo home run, and Haase followed with a second homer to give the Giants a 3-2 lead. Yamamoto surrendered three home runs in a single game for the first time in his career and exited after 6.1 innings.
