Yoshinobu Yamamoto Opens Up About Loneliness and Life as a DodgerYoshinobu Yamamoto has quickly become one of the brightest stars on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching staff. With a 2.39 ERA and a 1.005 WHIP so far in the 2025 season, he’s proving that the hype surrounding his transition from NPB to MLB was well deserved.
The Dodgers watched Yoshinobu Yamamoto deliver a stellar six-inning performance. But he hit a feat not seen in six years.
Yamamoto (6-5) allowed five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants. Yamamoto's five walks were a season high, and that was just part of the sloppiness in this outing.
Yamamoto walks a season-high five in just 4⅔ innings – including three in a span of five batters before Casey Schmitt’s grand slam – and San Francisco takes the series opener, 6-2.
