Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Goes eight innings in loss
Rotowire
Yamamoto (11-7) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out three over eight innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Saturday.
Yamamoto has gone seven or more innings in three of his five starts since the beginning of July. He had a little early trouble in this one, giving up solo home runs to Ceddanne Rafaela in the first and third innings before the Red Sox scraped together the decisive run in the eighth. Yamamoto continues to be a workhorse for the Dodgers with a 2.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 121:29 K:BB through 133.2 innings over 20 starts, though he has already given up a career-high 15 homers this year. Yamamoto's next start is projected to be on the road in Arizona.
Yamamoto (11-6) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Mets on Saturday.
This wasn't Yamamoto's best work, but it was good enough to get another quality start and victory. He continues to be the Dodgers' workhorse on the mound, going at least six frames in each of his last eight starts -- seven of them being quality starts with just 16 runs allowed over 56.1 innings in that span. Yamamoto has a 2.72 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 118:28 K:BB through 125.2 innings over 19 appearances this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox.
Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Tosses complete game in 10th win
Rotowire
Yamamoto (10-6) earned the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks over nine innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven.
Yamamoto was stellar, throwing the first regular-season complete game of his MLB career on 102 pitches (69 strikes). It came at an opportune time with the Dodgers set for a bullpen game in the second half of Sunday's doubleheader. While he entered the All-Star break on a sour note by giving up a season-high six runs July 11 against the Diamondbacks, the right-hander has been remarkably consistent and effective, allowing two or fewer earned runs in 12 of 18 starts this season. Yamamoto will take a 2.78 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 113:25 K:BB across 119.2 innings into his next outing, which is lined up for next weekend against the Mets.
Yamamoto (9-6) allowed six runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Yamamoto's run of five straight quality starts came to a crashing halt when Arizona put up five runs in the sixth inning, capped by James McCann's three-run home run. The four walks matched a season high for Yamamoto, while the six runs were a season high as well. He now has a 2.85 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 106:25 K:BB through 110.2 innings over 17 starts this season.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Quality start in loss
Rotowire
Yamamoto (7-5) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Orioles.
This was the first time Yamamoto allowed multiple runs since he was tagged for five runs over 6.1 frames in a May 12 starts versus the Giants.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Teases perfect game in victory
Rotowire
Yamamoto (7-4) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out seven batters over 8.1 innings.
Yamamoto was nearly untouchable Saturday, and he didn't allow a baserunner until Mookie Betts committed an error on a grounder with two outs in the eighth inning. The right-handed hurler still had a chance at a no-hitter, but that ended when Tristan Peters clubbed a solo shot leading off the bottom of the ninth. Though he had to settle for a dominant victory, Yamamoto did end up in the Dodgers' history book by retiring 45 consecutive batters dating back to his previous start -- a run exceeded in MLB history only by Yusmeiro Petit, who set down 46 straight hitters for the Giants in 2014. Yamamoto also recorded his fourth consecutive victory, and he hasn't allowed more than one run in five straight starts. On the season, the reigning World Series MVP has a standout 2.52 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 80:15 K:BB over 85.2 innings spanning 13 starts.

Rotowire
Yamamoto (6-4) allowed one run on two hits and struck out four without walking a batter to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.
Yamamoto gave up an RBI triple to Oswald Peraza in the first inning, then proceeded to retire the next 22 batters in order.

Yamamoto was efficient, needing just 93 pitches (69 strikes) in his longest start of the year, and he was rewarded with his third straight win. He's allowed just three runs over his last 27.1 innings, returning to dominant form after some struggles in late April and early May. For the season, the 27-year-old has a 2.68 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 73:15 K:BB through 77.1 innings over 12 starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox.
