Yoshinobu Yamamoto Makes MLB History With 10-Strikeout NLDS Game 3 Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out 10 over seven brilliant innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 NLDS Game 3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Yamamoto became the first pitcher in MLB history to earn five straight postseason wins allowing one or fewer runs and walks in each. He escaped a fifth-inning bases-loaded jam with consecutive groundouts after receiving a pep talk containing a 'dirty word' from teammate Kiké Hernández, putting L.A. up 2-1.
