The Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back in a big way in Game 2 of the World Series. The night after a tough 11-4 loss, they beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 thanks to a dominant performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Japanese ace went the distance, giving up only one run and striking out eight in a complete-game win that silenced the home crowd at Rogers Center.
It was a huge moment for both the Dodgers and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Manager Dave Roberts trusted him to finish what he started, and the right-hander delivered. The 27-year-old successfully pitched his second consecutive complete game and proved why the Dodgers made him their big investment back in 2023.
The right-hander, who joined the Dodgers in 2023 on a 12-year, $325 million contract, has lived up to the hype. He posted a 2.49 ERA
