Dodgers beat Yankees as Yoshinobu Yamamoto throws complete game

Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a career first regular‑season complete game, allowing only four hits as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 8–2 in the opening game of a day‑night doubleheader. Yamamoto struck out seven, walked none and joined Felix Hernandez as the only visitors to pitch a nine‑inning complete game at the current Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers added runs throughout the game, highlighted by Shohei Ohtani’s RBI double, Freddie Freeman’s RBI single, and a five‑run eighth inning.

A few days later, the Dodgers edged the New York Mets 4–3, with Yamamoto again starting and Kyle Tucker homering in consecutive games. Tucker’s back‑to‑back home runs helped preserve the lead, while the Dodgers capitalized on opponent errors and timely hitting to secure the win.
