Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a fantastic performance in World Series Game 2, pitching a complete game.
The wife of the Dodgers Game 1 starter was super impressed with the World Series Game 2 winner for Los Angeles.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a four-hitter for his second consecutive complete game, the first in the World Series since 2015, and the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Saturday night to tie their best-of-seven matchup at one game apiece.
Only two of Toronto's hitters had ever faced the Dodgers' ace, who stymied the Blue Jays with his arsenal and delivery.
Yamamoto went the distance for a second straight start, twirling nine innings of one-run ball on 105 pitches as the Dodgers evened the World Series at a game apiece with a 5-1 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday night at Rogers Centre.
After another complete game victory in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night, is the Japanese right-hander approaching – or has he already reached – ace status?
