"Yoshinobu Yamamoto turned in another gem, giving the Dodgers six innings of one-run ball. He struck out six, walked one and allowed five hits. The only run Yamamoto allowed came in the third inning, when Addison Barger hit a leadoff double and scored on a single from George Springer. Outside of that, the Blue Jays only had one other real opportunity to score, which came in the sixth inning,"
"The Dodgers' offense remained quiet, but did just enough to get them a win with the pitching performance they received. All three of their runs came in the third inning, which was started by a one-out double from Tommy Edman and intentional walk to Shohei Ohtani. Edman scored on a double from Will Smith, and then Freddie Freeman took a walk."
"Once Yamamoto was out of the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts turned to Justin Wrobelski in the seventh inning. It marked a change from Roberts going with his previously-trusted, but the decision worked out. Wrobleski allowed a two-out double, but stranded him and struck out two in a scoreless inning. Roki Sasaki entered for the eighth inning, with the likely plan of going two innings for a six-out save."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered six innings of one-run ball, striking out six, walking one and allowing five hits to keep the Dodgers competitive. The lone run allowed came in the third after Addison Barger doubled and George Springer singled him home. The Dodgers scored all three runs in the third inning on doubles by Tommy Edman and Will Smith and a bases-loaded single by Mookie Betts, giving a 3-0 lead. After Yamamoto, Justin Wrobelski worked a scoreless seventh and Roki Sasaki escaped jams in the eighth while preserving the lead for a 3-1 victory to force Game 7.
