Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitches a complete game as the Dodgers beat the Brewers 5-1. He allowed a home on his first pitch of the game, and that was all the Brewers would get. He gave up two more hits and a walk, throwing 111 pitches. Los Angeles wins the first two games of the best of seven series on the road.

The Dodgers bullpen appeared to be their weak spot coming into this series. They only pitched one inning so far, as Blake Snell and Yamamoto combined four one run in seventeen innings.

By the way, I didn’t mean for this to be prophetic. And this paragraph holds up well:

This is one time that the overall numbers may not tell the full story. The Dodgers recovered good pitchers from injury late in the season, most importantly Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell. The Brewers lost Brandon Woodruff to an injury after he made a triumphant return to the rotation. The Two teams are closer on the pitching and defense side of the equation that they appear in the table.

Both the Mariners and Dodgers are in a great position to finish these series at home.
