BALTIMORE — Jackson Holliday homered with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday night for the Baltimore Orioles, denying Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers a no-hitter.
There still hasn't been a no-hitter in the major leagues in 2025.
The 27-year-old right-hander from Japan came close, allowing only two baserunners — both on third-inning walks — and tying a career high with 10 strikeouts. His 112th and final pitch — also a career high since coming to the U.S. — was hit just over the fence in right field by Holliday.
Yamamoto was removed after that and received a standing ovation by fans of both teams.
Yamamoto walked his first two hitters in the third but escaped that jam via a strikeout and a double play. He has struck out nine through eight
