Yushin Yamamoto dominates pitcher mound + Edman wins the game and the Dodgers win 10 straight at home

Perhaps the Dodgers will only need to return to their home stadium in Chaves Canyon in Los Angeles.

After four defeats in six games on the road, the Dodgers extended their 10-game winning streak at home on Friday with a 3-0 win over the Cubs (dating back to Game 2 of last year's Nations League Championship). Yoshinobu Yamamoto used 103 pitches to shoot six innings without conceding points, hitting just two hits and making nine strikeouts (just one short of the career record set against the Tigers two weeks ago) to reduce his season defense to 1.23.

"It was a good clean game tonight," said coach Dave Roberts, "and it was crucial for Yamamoto to control the ball accurately, create a lot of swings with his knuckles, and play the ball well to finish six innings efficiently." "

Yamamoto pitched 30 percent of his pitches at an average 90.9 mph (slightly lower than the season average of 91.8 mph), but seven of the Cubs' 11 aerial swings came from that genre. "Last year, the catcher used to use the finger fork ball, but I was unstable in my control of the ball and the number of balls fell behind," said Yoshihiro Sonoda, an interpreter from Yamamoto. "

The Dodgers woke up in six innings: Teoscar Hernández hit a flat hit in left field, and Freddie Freeman, who returned from injury, was sent to the base base by a touch ball. Tommy Edman then blasted a speedball below the good ball band into the left field stand (Statcast ranged 423 feet) to break the deadlock with a three-pointer.

"I didn't deliberately go for a home run," Eedman said, "but it was the result of a striking-out strategy and pre-game preparation." "

The bullpen trio of Kirby Yates, Blake Treinen and Tanner Scott relayed three games without a hit, and Scott saved 16 goals. Roberts emphasised that Yamamoto's quality starts are crucial to the cowshed's rest: "The starting rotation has been inconsistent lately, and it is very important to be able to eat the number of innings after the break.
