Dodgers’ Yamamoto Silences Yankees Bats – LA Leads Series 2-0

Yonhap News

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium, pushing their series lead to 2-0. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto made a stellar debut on the World Series stage, going 6⅓ innings with just one hit allowed, one run, and four strikeouts, claiming his first World Series win. His performance impressed fans and Yankees media alike, with one Yankees journalist praising Yamamoto’s ability to keep New York’s hitters in check.

Yamamoto delivered a dominant performance on baseball’s biggest stage. In the first inning, with the score tied 0-0 and a runner on second with one out, he struck out Aaron Judge—who hit 58 home runs this season—on a low slider. Although he gave up a game-tying solo home run to Juan Soto in the third inning with the Dodgers leading 1-0, he didn’t allow any other hits. Yamamoto maintained his momentum by striking out Judge again in his third at-bat. When he was replaced in the middle of the seventh inning, he received a standing ovation for his excellent pitching.

Max Goodman, a Yankees reporter for the New Jersey-based outlet NJ.com, expressed his admiration for Yamamoto on X, writing: “Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese ace that the Yankees wanted badly this past offseason, just got a standing ovation at Dodger Stadium after 6.1 brilliant innings in Game 2 of the World Series. He shut New York down, allowing one hit … a Juan Soto solo home run in the third.”

Meanwhile, Ohtani Shohei, who started as the leadoff designated hitter, attempted a steal but suffered an injury shortly afterward. Reports indicate a left shoulder dislocation, and the team will have a rest day before Game 3 on the road.
